Folk Narrative and World View


Book Description

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.
