Abstract This article traces the motif of the deer hunt from ancient Greek texts to its reinterpretation in contemporary Turkish literature. The motif, which appears frequently in both ancient Greek myths and the legends of Central Asian warrior Turkish societies, is reproduced as a fusion in the works of contemporary Turkish writer Murathan Mungan (*1955). The meanings attached to the motif take on a different dimension during this reproduction, which has implications for themes such as taboo, transgression, and the hierarchy of animal-human relationships in folk narrative. An analysis of Mungan’s play Deer Curses can aid in elucidating the points of folk narrative in regard to these themes and anthropocentrism. This article thus investigates how the motif of the deer hunt, among other deer-related motifs, is revived in a contemporary literary work and what type of conclusions it may bring in analyzing human-animal relationships, as well as hegemony, through a symbolic reading of this relationship.

Zusammenfassung Das Ddakjibon (딱지본) bezeichnet eine Art populären Lesestoff mit bunten Buchumschlägen in der koreanischen Moderne, der etwa 1900 mit der Einführung der modernen Drucktechnik aufkam. Ddakjibon waren billige, dünne Hefte oder Bücher mit Druckpapier niedriger Qualität. Sie wurden bis in die 1970er Jahre durch kleine Händler und Kolporteuren auf dem Markt bzw. auf der Straße verkauft. Ihre Rezeption erfolgte sowohl durch berufliche Vorleser als auch durch private Lektüre. An diesen unterschiedlichen Lektüreformen soll die Herausbildung des modernen Lesepublikums in Korea und die Übergangsphase von einer semi-oralen bzw. semi-literalen zu einer schriftbasierten Kultur herausgearbeitet werden.

Zusammenfassung Der Aufsatz untersucht die Entwicklung der Märchenoper im Opernhaus Zürich. Im Einzelnen werden zwei Opernlibretti ausgewertet, denen Volksmärchen zugrunde liegen: Das verzauberte Schwein und Hänsel und Gretel. Hinzu kommt die kursorische Betrachtung von neun Opernlibretti, denen andere Märchen beziehungsweise märchenhafte Stoffe zugrunde liegen oder die als Operntexte für Kinder erdichtet wurden und die seit 2010 am Opernhaus Zürich ihre Uraufführung feierten. Es geht um die Frage, nach welchen poetischen und dramaturgischen Prinzipien die Märchenoper mit Volksmärchen verfährt.

Abstract Certain voices in society and history fade away with the passage of time because they lack the freedom of expression. These are typically the voices of the oppressed or subjugated section of the society. Their voices, however, can be heard in literature as they subsequently turn to it to articulate their thoughts, and folk literature or folklore is no exception in this regard. Drawing inspiration from the subaltern perspective, this paper argues that folktales of Kashmir gave voice to the subaltern of the Kashmiri society. For this purpose, it examines three Kashmiri folktales titled The Tale of the Farmer’s Wife and the Honey-Bee, The Story of A Weaver, and The Clever Jackal following a subaltern approach to demonstrate how themes, narratives, and characters represent the subdued voices.

Abstract This article considers the popular storytelling device of the misdirected kiss, classified in Stith Thompson’s index as motif K1225. It argues that the dominance of Chaucer’s Miller’s Tale over current scholarship has led us to conceptualise the motif in unduly reductive terms. To demonstrate the variability and complexity of the kiss as a narrative element, a number of neglected witnesses are reviewed from medieval and early modern French, English, German and Dutch. The article appends a translation and edition of one of the most eccentric specimens of the kiss from the late medieval period, the “Refereynen vande jonghe Kamer van Haerlem” (1561).

Abstract The present article aims at explaining the unique role the study of folk-narrative played in the Wissenschaft des Judentums (the scholarly study of Judaism) as it emerged in the nineteenth century and first half of the twentieth century and as it was negotiated later. This article engages how the language of Wissenschaft constructed Jewish texts in the language of folk-narrative studies. And how the language of folk-narrative studies constructed Jewish culture in the language of Wissenschaft. Given the status of scholars within this movement – Jews who were citizens of European nations – they demonstrated the affinities between Jewish folk-narrative traditions and Islamic narrative traditions; on the other hand, they used a poetic language that implemented European (mainly German) genres and forms of scholarship that were viewed as objective and scientific in their studies of Jewish texts. The article examines three works by three scholars from three generations of the Wissenschaft movement: Moritz Steinschneider, Ignaz Goldziehr and Bernhard Heller – each corresponding respectively to one genre: legend, myth and folktale.
摘要 本文旨在解释民间叙事研究在十九世纪和二十世纪上半叶兴起的犹太教学术研究（Wissenschaft des Judentums）中所扮演的独特角色，以及后来对这一角色的讨论。本文探讨了犹太教学术语言如何以民间叙事研究的语言构建犹太教文本。民间叙事研究的语言又是如何用文艺学的语言建构犹太文化的。鉴于这一运动中的学者--身为欧洲国家公民的犹太人--的身份，他们展示了犹太民间叙事传统与伊斯兰叙事传统之间的亲缘关系；另一方面，他们在研究犹太文本时使用了一种诗意的语言，这种语言采用了欧洲（主要是德国）的体裁和学术形式，这些体裁和形式被视为客观和科学的。文章探讨了三代知识分子运动中三位学者的三部作品：莫里茨-施泰因施耐德（Moritz Steinschneider）、伊格纳茨-戈尔齐耶尔（Ignaz Goldziehr）和伯恩哈德-海勒（Bernhard Heller）的三部作品分别对应一种体裁：传说、神话和民间故事。

Abstract The story of Syntipas/the Seven Sages travelled as an international bestseller through the Near East and Europe, from the Middle Ages up to Early Modernity, and was adapted by its translators to each new context. Belonging to the genre of wisdom literature, it circulated in over thirty languages and under various titles. This article addresses processes of creative adaptation in different cultural contexts by comparing two early versions, the Book of Syntipas the Philosopher in Greek from the eleventh century and Dolopathos in Latin from the twelfth century. By way of case study, it offers an analysis of the ‘bedroom scene’ in both versions and discusses the different ways with which female agency is dealt.
