Abstract:Feminist scholars have criticized the misogyny of folk/fairy tales that recount how "willful" princesses who refuse to marry are reformed or punished. As a result, contemporary authors of fairy-tale picturebooks tend to alter or not incorporate the forced marriage theme when engaging with these tales. Yet, the trope of the "willful" princess whose will is "straightened" is still operative in recent fairy tales. Through a multimodal analysis of La bella Griselda (Beautiful Griselda, 2010) and De gouden kooi (The Golden Cage,2014), I show how these fairy-tale picturebooks reiterate the harmful dynamic of reforming or penalizing a "willfully" agentic princess.

Abstract:In “The White Cat” (1698), Marie-Catherine d’Aulnoy controverts received notions of the fairy tale in length, complexity, and subject matter by presenting a covert critique of the symbolic paternal order she inhabited: the society revolving around the absolutist Louis XIV of France. When embedded in sociocultural, political, and personal contexts, this tale thus invites reading as a factographic text grounded in lived experience. Part 1 foregrounds several precursor texts interwoven into d’Aulnoy’s narrative. Retelling old tales dissociates her subversive story from direct correlation with the author. Part 2 examines the repetitive motif of emboîtement or enclosure throughout “The White Cat” and its generative causes.

The category of zhiguai (accounts of the strange) texts is diverse, encompassing a wide variety of anecdotes, historical records, memoirs, letters, temple inscriptions, and biographies, among others, that recount encounters with sacred, ordinary, and apotropaic objects, shapeshifting animals, ghosts, demons, local gods, and numinous beings such as Daoist transcendents or the Buddha, Buddhist practitioners, deities and supernatural creatures;visits to otherworldly places such as the court of judgment in the afterlife, hidden villages of immortals or enlightened beings à la James Hilton's Shangri-la or the Tibetan mythical kingdom of Shambhala, or even heaven or hell;and unaccountable phenomena such as bizarre dreams, premonitions, and miraculous occurrences, including surviving entombment and the return from death (xxviii). Mordicai Gerstein's children's book Carolinda Clatter (2005), with its description of a giant's sleeping body becoming a mountain with forests, caves, and waterfalls, mirrors the cosmogonic myth of Pangu, whose body parts become the world in item 85 (58 and 59). The eerie feel of the scene in C. S. Lewis's The Magician's Nephew (1955), where Digory Kirke enters the Garden to pluck an apple from the Tree of Knowledge to protect Narnia, is highly reminiscent of item 47 (35), where uninvited intruders eat their fill of otherworldly fruit from a remote orchard but are admonished by an unseen voice in midair to drop the fruit they intended to take with them.

Abstract:Madame d’Aulnoy’s 1698 “White Cat,” an early modern conte de fées with components characteristic of her oeuvre (metamorphoses, a parallel world, quests, and tasks rooted in European narrative tradition, all narrated with richly descriptive prose within complex plot structure), shares striking similarities with Hannā Diyāb’s 1709 “Prince Ahmed and Pari Banou,” which was later incorporated into Antoine Galland’s final volume (1717) of Mille et une nuits. Close textual and structural analysis demonstrates that both stories participated in a rich narrative tradition launched by an exemplum in Jean Gobi Junior’s 1323–30 Scala coeli and suggests that d’Aulnoy’s “White Cat” may have been a source for Hannā Diyāb’s Arabian Nights tale.
摘要:德奥尔诺瓦夫人1698年的《白猫》是一部早期现代小说，具有其全部作品的特点(变形、平行世界、探索和任务，植根于欧洲叙事传统，所有这些都是在复杂的情节结构中以丰富的描写性文字叙述的)，与汉娜Diyāb 1709年的《艾哈迈德王子和帕里·巴努》有着惊人的相似之处，后者后来被纳入安东尼·加朗的《Mille et une nuits》的最后一卷(1717)。仔细的文本和结构分析表明，这两个故事都参与了由小让·戈壁1323 - 1330年的《斯卡拉》中的一个范例所发起的丰富的叙事传统，并表明德奥尔诺瓦的《白猫》可能是汉娜·Diyāb的《一千零一夜》故事的来源。
