The Lisbon Strategy and other documents of the European Union advocating for a knowledge-based society have provided the ground for restructuring schools and changing pedagogical approaches to teaching and learning, focusing on creativity and entrepreneurship. One of the approaches increasingly popular in Slovenia has been Edward de Bono’s methodology. The article analyses the benefits, controversies, and potentials of de Bono’s “lateral thinking” methods for increasing creativity when introduced to children in elementary school courses and extracurricular activities. Based on the qualitative study, it explores how this “pragmatic” approach to creativity is realised in Slovenian elementary schools, and reflects on teaching creativity in schools as a systemic approach.

Abstract Folk legends of brave clergymen confronting terrifying apparitions in fields and houses can be heard all throughout rural England. Situated in the early modern period, these tales establish the archetype of the ‘conjuring parson’ and perpetuate the spiritual tradition of ‘ghost-laying’: the exorcism of ghosts. Clerical ghost-laying, however, is a spiritual tradition without a well-founded historical or theological precedent. The few extant sixteenth- and seventeenth-century literary depictions of this practice are largely satirical or polemical in nature. Tales of early modern clergymen exorcising restless spirits actually originate from the pens of Victorian authors who developed the sensationalist folkloric exploits of conjuring parsons to fulfil their own literary or political agendas. Through a comparison of early modern and Victorian literary accounts—focusing on the Botathen Ghost haunting—this article illustrates that the genre of clerical ghost-laying lacks any substantial claim to historical, literary, or theological legitimacy.

Abstract In several publications J. H. Brunvand has discussed an ‘urban legend’ labelled ‘the baby roast’. While treating this as an American tale current in the 1970s that spread to urban locations in Europe and elsewhere, Brunvand also mentions much older Malayo-Polynesian narratives from the South Pacific exhibiting the same theme—a child-minder mistaking an infant for food and cooking it. Yet he reaches no conclusion on whether this remarkable resemblance reveals ‘cross-cultural borrowing’ or ‘independent invention’. Analysing the Pacific stories and drawing on Malayo-Polynesian narratives from Indonesia recorded by the present author, this article demonstrates that the best explanation is independent development. The article further shows how stories concerning the accidental cooking and sometimes consumption of young children reflect pan-human concerns about the possibility of cannibalism and the attribution of consuming human flesh to people implicitly regarded as inhuman or, in the Indonesian stories, to characters who subsequently transform into non-human animals.
在一些出版物中，J. H. Brunvand讨论了一个标有“婴儿烤”的“都市传说”。Brunvand认为这是20世纪70年代流行的美国故事，传播到欧洲和其他地方的城市地区，同时也提到了来自南太平洋的马来亚-波利尼西亚更古老的故事，展示了同样的主题——看护者把婴儿误认为食物并将其烹饪。然而，他没有得出结论，这种惊人的相似是“跨文化借鉴”还是“独立发明”。本文分析了太平洋地区的故事，并借鉴了作者记录的来自印度尼西亚的马来亚-波利尼西亚叙事，证明独立发展是最好的解释。这篇文章进一步展示了关于意外烹饪和有时食用幼儿的故事如何反映了全人类对同类相食的可能性的关注，以及将食用人肉归因于隐性被视为不人道的人，或者在印度尼西亚的故事中，将食用人肉归因于随后变成非人类动物的人物。

Abstract Yetan suilu (Jottings of nighttime talks) by Hebang’e is a late eighteenth-century Chinese collection of ‘anomaly accounts’. Among the roughly 140 entries in the collection, ‘Huisha wuze’ (Five items on fatal revenants) deals particularly with the Chinese belief that a dead person would visit his or her former home on a specific day in the form of a fatal revenant (sha). Besides providing an annotated translation of ‘Huisha wuze’, this article also explicates the uniqueness of the sha-revenant and sheds light on the rich cultural history of a hitherto understudied mortuary ritual that has close connections to Chinese vernacular religion.
