Folk Tales and Fairy Tales
In this course we worked with the folk tale genre, focusing on various analytical models to give us a foundation for discussing analytical methodology (i.e. What is the point of using models to analyse folk tales? What possibilities and limitations lie in each model?)
We discussed: The Contract Model, The Home-Out-Home Model, The Actantian Model, Propp/Zipes’ 8 Elements.
