Abstract:The sung verse of Kmhmu highlanders involves a complex and unique system of pervasive canonical parallelism. "Reverse words" in the first member of a parallel set rhyme in a crosswise relation with their meaningful counterparts in the second member of the set. Within this system, some singers employ "orphan lines," where only the first member is sung, and listeners must guess what the meaningful line would be. Roman Jakobson's encouragement to examine such orphan lines in terms of their "near and distant" environment is taken as inspiration to explore the image of parentless children in Kmhmu songs about orphans and to suggest lessons for our own ethnographic practice.

Abstract:This article explores the influence of digital technologies on the functioning of Catholic apparitional movements and the so-called miracular sensitivity, as well as specific forms of religious folklore related to it. I analyze the current methods of creating and disseminating various messages (texts, photos, films) related to Catholic apparition sites and pay particular attention to the phenomenon of miraculous pictures, examining the status that is assigned to them. I put forward two basic theses: (1) digital distribution of information about religious revelations is a factor that dynamizes Marian apparitional movements, but at the same time causes them to collide with various hostile reactions from skeptics, which consequently results in a more self-reflective and diverse stance; (2) digital technologies are changing the status and reception of miraculous pictures, which now are no longer only treated as hierophanies and material representations of a supernatural reality but are increasingly understood as symbolic signs of it.

who are portrayed in previous tales presented in the book. The selected folktales show that emphasizing binary categories contributes to creating strong emotions, thus conveying the desired message. The fourth chapter includes six tales focused on kosher food and Jewish identity. Four tales portray Jews and Christians eating together with restrictions. The remaining two tales deal with kosher issues in a Jewish kitchen. The tales expose reasons given for the strict rules and the challenges of keeping a kosher diet. With her choice of tales, PintelGinsberg shows that when it comes to kosher food, the “other” may be Christians or Muslims, but they may also be Jews, either men or women who commit a critical mistake during food preparation. The fifth and last chapter focuses on the connection between food and sacred times, as well as its role related to ritual observance and Jewish identity. The tales deal with the tension caused by Shabbat and Holy Day meal preparation. Celestial beings or men’s rules help loosen this tension. While three tales focus on identity, two other tales offer etiological explanations for the connection between a special dish and Jewish law. Such is the tale “Wherefore the Custom of Eating Dairy Products on Shavuot,” which blames women’s rebelliousness for a transformation of tradition, eating simple dairy dishes instead of festive meat dishes on a central Holy Day. PintelGinsberg’s excellent choice to end the book with a tale that combines food, gender, hunger, and satisfaction during a sacred time allows her to bring to the reader’s attention the biblical and Talmudic roots underlying countless Jewish folktales. Supported by a rich bibliography and additional folktales, PintelGinsberg’s indepth discussions create a meaningful dialogue between the storyteller, the author, and the reader. Thus, The Angel and the Cholent is a good reference for anyone interested in the correlation between food and folktales in specific cultural and comparative contexts.

书中以前的故事中都描绘了他们。所选的民间故事表明，强调二元范畴有助于创造强烈的情感，从而传达所需的信息。第四章包括六个关于犹太洁食和犹太人身份的故事。四个故事描述了犹太人和基督徒在一起吃饭时受到限制。剩下的两个故事是关于犹太人厨房里的犹太洁食问题。这些故事揭露了严格规定的原因以及保持犹太洁食饮食的挑战。平特尔金斯伯格通过她的故事选择表明，当谈到犹太洁食时，“另一个”可能是基督徒或穆斯林，但他们也可能是犹太人，无论是在食物准备过程中犯下严重错误的男性还是女性。第五章也是最后一章重点讨论了食物与神圣时代之间的联系，以及它在仪式遵守和犹太身份方面的作用。这些故事讲述了安息日和圣餐准备引起的紧张气氛。天体或人类的规则有助于缓和这种紧张关系。虽然有三个故事聚焦于身份，但另外两个故事为一道特殊菜肴与犹太法律之间的联系提供了病因解释。这就是“为什么在沙沃特吃乳制品的习俗”的故事，该故事将传统的转变归咎于女性的叛逆，在中心的圣日吃简单的乳制品而不是节日肉类。平特尔·金斯伯格（PintelGinsberg）选择以一个结合了神圣时期食物、性别、饥饿和满足感的故事来结束这本书，这让她能够引起读者的注意，无数犹太民间故事背后的圣经和犹太法典根源。在丰富的参考书目和其他民间故事的支持下，平特尔金斯伯格的深入讨论在讲故事的人、作者和读者之间创造了一场有意义的对话。因此，对于任何对特定文化和比较背景下食物和民间故事之间的相关性感兴趣的人来说，《天使与霍乱》都是一本很好的参考书。卡军音乐：一个民族的反映。第二卷。Ann Allen Savoy编译和撰写。（尤尼斯，洛杉矶：蓝鸟出版社，2021年。Pp xvi+440，简介，唱片资源/歌曲标题，使用本书，致谢，参考书目，使用的录音，歌曲索引，选择性索引。）

tion as well as fairytale studies at large, which rarely addresses issues of ableism. The third section, “Posthuman and Posttruth Cinderellas,” begins with a posthumanist take on Cinderella with dragons and cyborgs in Rachel L. Carazo’s “Dragons, Magical Objects, and Social Criticism” and Alexandra Lykissas’ “Cyborgerella.” Ryan Habermeyer’s “Once Upon a Time in NaziOccupied France” concludes the final section with a shift to posttruth. He specifically positions the film Inglourious Basterds (2009) in the growing posttruth culture surrounding Brexit and Donald Trump’s presidency. As Woltmann states in the introduction, this collection does not intend to engage with the traditional folkloric, deep historical, or psychoanalytic approaches used in folklore or fairytale studies. Rather, this collection creates a wideranging social history for recent Cinderella adaptations, making it especially useful for classes or research that address film and television adaptations of fairy tales. As with similar studies, the scope of this study is as much a drawback as it is a necessity. However, the diversity of perspectives and adaptations add to recent conversations about Cinderella as two new film adaptations of this fairy tale premiere this year. Woke Cinderella is an engaging read that juxtaposes an equal number of experienced scholars with new voices in fairytale studies, highlighting the continued power and relevance of this fairy tale today.
以及童话研究，这些研究很少涉及残疾歧视问题。第三部分，“后人类和后真实的灰姑娘”，从雷切尔·l·卡拉索的《龙、魔法物品和社会批评》和亚历山德拉·利基萨斯的《电子人》中，一个后人类主义者对灰姑娘和龙和电子人的看法开始。瑞恩·哈伯迈耶(Ryan Habermeyer)的《纳粹占领下的法国》(Once Upon a Time in nazi占领下的法国)以转向后真相结束了最后一部分。他特别将电影《无耻混蛋》(2009)定位于围绕英国脱欧和唐纳德·特朗普总统任期的后真相文化中。正如Woltmann在引言中所说的，这个集合不打算参与传统的民俗学，深刻的历史，或在民间传说或童话研究中使用的精神分析方法。相反，这本合集为最近的《灰姑娘》改编创造了一个广泛的社会历史，使它对讨论童话故事的电影和电视改编的课程或研究特别有用。与类似的研究一样，这项研究的范围既是必要的，也是缺点。然而，随着两部改编自这个童话故事的新电影今年首映，人们对灰姑娘的看法和改编的多样性增加了最近的讨论。《醒来的灰姑娘》是一本引人入胜的读物，它将同等数量的有经验的学者与童话研究中的新声音并列在一起，突出了这个童话在今天的持续力量和相关性。
