Abstract

Abstract:In Stand Still. 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.

童话般的天启:人性、自然和疾病的静止。保持沉默
摘要:在Stand Still中。芬兰网络漫画艺术家明娜·桑德伯格(Minna Sundberg)在世界末日后的背景下,用北欧神话来说明人类对自然环境的影响。桑德伯格通过巧妙地运用北欧神话和背景,讲述了大流行后世界中挣扎的人类,这一故事与今天有着诡异的相关性,他提出了认识和解决人类造成的生态破坏的理由。这篇文章描述了童话的比喻和未来的设置是如何相互作用的,可以有效地警告当代人类的虐待。通过一场无视物种划分的大流行的寓言和民间传说的整合,一个强有力的论据出现了,证明了以人类为中心的生态活动的危险。

期刊介绍: Marvels & Tales (ISSN: 1521-4281) was founded in 1987 by Jacques Barchilon at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Originally known as Merveilles & contes, the journal expressed its role as an international forum for folktale and fairy-tale scholarship through its various aliases: Wunder & Märchen, Maravillas & Cuentos, Meraviglie & Racconti, and Marvels & Tales. In 1997, the journal moved to Wayne State University Press and took the definitive title Marvels & Tales: Journal of Fairy-Tale Studies. From the start, Marvels & Tales has served as a central forum for the multidisciplinary study of fairy tales. In its pages, contributors from around the globe have published studies, texts, and translations of fairy-tales from Europe, North America, Asia, and Africa. The Editorial Policy of Marvels & Tales encourages scholarship that introduces new areas of fairy-tale scholarship, as well as research that considers the traditional fairy-tale canon from new perspectives. The journal''s special issues have been particularly popular and have focused on topics such as "Beauty and the Beast," "The Romantic Tale," "Charles Perrault," "Marriage Tests and Marriage Quest in African Oral Literature," "The Italian Tale," and "Angela Carter and the Literary Märchen." Marvels & Tales is published every April and October by Wayne State University Press.
