Paper cut by Hans Christian Andersen Cat no. 27569 from HCA Centre |
This week, we got into some real study. Looking at analysis models like the actantial model of which I had never come across before and some more familiar ones like Propp's morphology. The tales we looked at this week were 'The Blue Light' and 'The Tinderbox'. 'The Blue Light' you can find in the Grimm's collection and 'The Tinderbox' is HCA adaption or retelling. The images that have stayed with me since childhood from The 'Tinderbox' are those dogs with the big eyes!
There is a lot of discussion which is fantastic, I've met new people and found familiar voices in the world of fairytale. Hi Gypsy, Nike and Louisa.
MOAR!
