Into the “Land of Snow and Ice”: Racial Fantasies in the Fairy-Tale Landscapes of the North
Abstract:This article examines fantasies of race and place in Scandinavian children’s literature of the mid-1800s to early 1900s. Overtly fictionalized accounts of journeys to “fairy-tale landscapes” in the Scandinavian context take the form of “Journeys to the North”—in particular the “Journey to Lapland.” Although these narratives rest on a well-formed mythology of the North as a locus of fascination both imagined and encountered as well as on standard fairy-tale motifs and structures, they nonetheless constitute lessons on race, place, and identity for future modern subjects.
期刊介绍:
Narrative Culture is a new journal that conceptualizes narration as a broad and pervasive human practice, warranting a holistic perspective that grasps the place of narrative comparatively across time and space. The journal invites contributions that document, discuss and theorize narrative culture, and offers a platform that integrates approaches spread across various disciplines. The field of narrative culture thus outlined is defined by a large variety of forms of popular narratives, including not only oral and written texts, but also narratives in images, three-dimensional art, customs, rituals, drama, dance, music, and so forth. Narrative Culture is peer-reviewed and international as well as interdisciplinary in orientation.
