Book excerpt: Excerpt from Papuan Fairy Tales The following fairy tales were collected chiefly from the natives of a small village on the N. E. coast of Papua. I have known these people for nine years, and for part of that time lived alone amongst them in a little mission bungalow. Sometimes when seated on the verandah, with a group of children around me, I would entice an old woman to narrate for our amusement some such story as the adventures of the Turtle and the Wallaby, or the cruel fate which befell the child left to the care of the Talking Bananas. Nothing loth, the old crone would patter out the tale which she had heard from her grandmother, who in turn had learnt it at some greybeard's knee. There was generally a little incantation or magic verse in each story, and this was invariably chanted to an air which one might call the fairy tale motif, for it appeared with great regularity, linked however to very diverse words.

Book Synopsis Tales from the Trobriand Islands of Papua New Guinea by : Gunter Senft
Download or read book Tales from the Trobriand Islands of Papua New Guinea written by Gunter Senft and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents 22 tales from the Trobriand Islands told by children (boys between the age of 5 and 9 years) and adults. The monograph is motivated not only by the anthropological linguistic aim to present a broad and quite unique collection of tales with the thematic approach to illustrate which topics and themes constitute the content of the stories, but also by the psycholinguistic and textlinguistic questions of how children acquire linearization and other narrative strategies, how they develop them and how they use them to structure these texts in an adult-like way. The tales are presented in morpheme-interlinear transcriptions with first textlinguistic analyses and cultural background information necessary to fully understand them. A summarizing comparative analysis of the texts from a psycholinguistic, anthropological linguistic and philological point of view discusses the underlying schemata of the stories, the means narrators use to structure them, their structural complexity and their cultural specificity.

Book Synopsis A True Child of Papua New Guinea by : Maggie Wilson
Download or read book A True Child of Papua New Guinea written by Maggie Wilson and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2019-04-24 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maggie Wilson was born in the highlands of Papua New Guinea to Melka Amp Jara, a woman of the highlands, and Patrick Leahy, brother of Australian explorers Michael and Daniel Leahy, who were among the first Australian explorers to encounter people in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea, during an expedition in search for gold. Maggie's life serves as a window into the complex social and cultural transformations experienced during the early years of the Australian administration in Papua New Guinea and the first three decades after independence. This ethnography--started as an autobiography and completed by Rosita Henry after Maggie's death in 2009--tells Maggie's story and the stories of those whose lives she touched. Their recollections of Maggie Wilson offer insights into life in Papua New Guinea today.
Book Synopsis Developmental Fairy Tales by : Andrew F. Jones
Download or read book Developmental Fairy Tales written by Andrew F. Jones and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2011-05-02 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1992 Deng Xiaoping famously declared, "Development is the only hard imperative." What ensued was the transformation of China from a socialist state to a capitalist market economy. The spirit of development has since become the prevailing creed of the People's Republic, helping to bring about unprecedented modern prosperity, but also creating new forms of poverty, staggering social upheaval, physical dislocation, and environmental destruction. In Developmental Fairy Tales, Andrew Jones asserts that the groundwork for this recent transformation was laid in the late nineteenth century, with the translation of the evolutionary works of Lamarck, Darwin, and Spencer into Chinese letters. He traces the ways that the evolutionary narrative itself evolved into a form of vernacular knowledge which dissolved the boundaries between beast and man and reframed childhood development as a recapitulation of civilizational ascent, through which a beleaguered China might struggle for existence and claim a place in the modern world-system. This narrative left an indelible imprint on China's literature and popular media, from children's primers to print culture, from fairy tales to filmmaking. Jones's analysis offers an innovative and interdisciplinary angle of vision on China's cultural evolution. He focuses especially on China's foremost modern writer and public intellectual, Lu Xun, in whose work the fierce contradictions of his generation's developmentalist aspirations became the stuff of pedagogical parable. Developmental Fairy Tales revises our understanding of literature's role in the making of modern China by revising our understanding of developmentalism's role in modern Chinese literature.
