Drawing on Collodi’s source—a nineteenth-century French anthology published for children—and on the second edition of I racconti delle fate that was corrected by the translator, this essay compares d’Aulnoy’s “L’Oiseau bleu” (“The Blue Bird”) and Collodi’s “L’Uccello turchino” (“The Blue Bird”). Far from “introducing” comedy, parody, and other stylistic changes, Collodi only deepened and emphasized these features in d’Aulnoy’s tales—features that, then, had a significant influence on Pinocchio.","PeriodicalId":42276,"journal":{"name":"Marvels & Tales-Journal of Fairy-Tale Studies","volume":"4 1","pages":"337 - 352"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83520697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stay Silent, Finnish webcomic artist Minna Sundberg uses Nordic mythology in a postapocalyptic setting to illustrate the impact of humanity on the natural environment. Eerily relevant today, through skillful use of Nordic mythology and settings Sundberg's tale of struggling humanity in a postpandemic world makes the argument for recognizing and addressing human-caused ecological destruction. This article describes how the interplay of fairy-tale tropes and futuristic settings allows for an effective warning against contemporary human abuses. Through the allegory of a pandemic that disregards divisions between species and the integration of folklore, a powerful argument for the dangers of anthropocentric ecological activity emerges.","PeriodicalId":42276,"journal":{"name":"Marvels & Tales-Journal of Fairy-Tale Studies","volume":"2009 1","pages":"108 - 94"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86270689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I further argue that the image of the black merfigure ultimately comments on the Middle Passage by repositioning the relationship of the black body and the ocean, the merfigure subverting confinement and death to become her/his own vessel.
