Download or read book Knock Twice written by Andrew Simms and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-10-09 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bewildered by the modern world? Folk tales throughout history explore the extremes of human experience and help us make sense of them. With dazzling and original twists this new collection of modern folk tales explores everything from mobile phones to the refugee crisis, celebrity, climate change and the banks. Uniquely, the contributors are not just story tellers, but leading, independent authorities on the earth sciences, the environment, finance, economics, inequality, social policy and more. From tales of deeply questionable corporations, to mysterious phone apps and a natural world fighting back, Knock twice unleashes creative minds to run riot over problems that seem unsolvable in the impoverished arena of daily politics. These are modern folk tales for troubling times because we're unlikely to get a better world without using our imaginations. Knock twice, open the covers and see what happens... "Stories are one of the most ancient and most effective ways of making sense of the world... When we try to live a good life in a world we seem to be simultaneously destroying, there is nothing more valuable or worth encouraging." Philip Pullman, on the first collection in this series, There was a knock at the door

Book Synopsis Folk Narrative and World View by : Leander Petzoldt
Download or read book Folk Narrative and World View written by Leander Petzoldt and published by Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften. This book was released on 1996 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Sicht der Welt in der Volkserzählung ist ein genuin gesellschaftliches, im weitesten Sinn politisches Thema. Die in diesem Tagungsband behandelten Volkserzählungen wie Sagen, Märchen, Schwänke, Lieder oder Rätsel reflektieren nicht nur die jeweilige Gesamtkultur, sondern in ihren Einzelaspekten auch die Weltsicht des erzählenden Individuums. Dabei bestimmen Faktoren wie Religion und Wirtschaft, Geschichte und Milieu und nicht zuletzt die soziale Struktur des Gemeinwesens die Weltsicht des Einzelnen und verweisen trotz der Vielfalt auf eine relativ beschränkte Zahl von Erklärungsmodellen der Welt. Der Sammelband enthält Beiträge in englischer, deutscher und französischer Sprache. World view in folk narrative is a genuine social and, in an even wider sense, political topic. The articles in this publication, whether they deal with legends, fairy tales, anecdotes, songs or riddles do not only reflect the culture, but in some aspects also the world view of the narrating individual. The world view of the individual is determined by the facts religion and economy, history and background and last but not least the social structure of the society in which the individual lives. Nevertheless, there are only a relatively limited number of explanations of the world, conceptions or world formulas on which the world view of an individual is based. This publication contains articles in English, German and French.

Book Synopsis Folk Culture in the Digital Age by : Trevor J. Blank
Download or read book Folk Culture in the Digital Age written by Trevor J. Blank and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2012-11-16 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Smart phones, tablets, Facebook, Twitter, and wireless Internet connections are the latest technologies to have become entrenched in our culture. Although traditionalists have argued that computer-mediated communication and cyberspace are incongruent with the study of folklore, Trevor J. Blank sees the digital world as fully capable of generating, transmitting, performing, and archiving vernacular culture. Folklore in the Digital Age documents the emergent cultural scenes and expressive folkloric communications made possible by digital “new media” technologies. New media is changing the ways in which people learn, share, participate, and engage with others as they adopt technologies to complement and supplement traditional means of vernacular expression. But behavioral and structural overlap in many folkloric forms exists between on- and offline, and emerging patterns in digital rhetoric mimic the dynamics of previously documented folkloric forms, invoking familiar social or behavior customs, linguistic inflections, and symbolic gestures. Folklore in the Digital Age provides insights and perspectives on the myriad ways in which folk culture manifests in the digital age and contributes to our greater understanding of vernacular expression in our ever-changing technological world.
Book Synopsis All the World's Reward by : Reimund Kvideland
Download or read book All the World's Reward written by Reimund Kvideland and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All the World’s Reward presents ninety-eight tales from Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Swedish-speaking Finland, and Iceland. Each area is represented by the complete recorded repertoire of a single storyteller. Such a focus helps place the stories in the context of the communities in which they were performed and also reveals how individual folk artists used the medium of oral literature to make statements about their lives and their world. Some preferred jocular stories and others wonder tales; some performed mostly for adults, others for children; some used storytelling to criticize society, and others spun wish fulfillment tales to find relief from a harsh reality. For the most part collected a century ago, the stories were gleaned from archives and printed sources; the Icelandic repertoire was collected on audiotape in the 1960s. Each repertoire was selected by a noted folklorist. Introductions to the storytellers and collectors and commentaries and references for the tales are provided. A general introduction, a comprehensive bibliography, and an index of the tales according to Aarne-Thompson’s typology are also included. Period illustrations add charm to the stories.
Book Synopsis Nefertiti, the Spidernaut by : Darcy Pattison
Download or read book Nefertiti, the Spidernaut written by Darcy Pattison and published by Triangle Interactive, Inc. . This book was released on 2017-12-13 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Read Along or Enhanced eBook: Most spiders spin a web and passively wait for prey to come to them. Jumping spiders, by contrast, actively hunt by jumping to catch their food. What if a jumping spider was sent to the International Space Station? When it jumped, it would simply float. No one knew if the spider could hunt in a weightless environment. This nonfiction picture book for elementary kids chronicles the amazing voyage of Nefertiti, the Spidernaut to the International Space Station and back. She’s a Phiddipus johnsonii, or Johnson jumping spider, native to western United States. Her colorful anatomy—red, black and teal—made for stunning photography and video. In 2012, Nefertitti clocked a record-breaking 100 days in space, during which time she circled Earth about 1584 times, traveling about 41,580,000 miles.
