A Wave Of The Magic Wand: Fairy Godmothers In Contemporary American Media, Jeana Jorgensen
A Wave Of The Magic Wand: Fairy Godmothers In Contemporary American Media, Jeana Jorgensen
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
The increased personification of fairy godmothers in contemporary American media corresponds to an aspect of the American worldview that emphasizes "magical" quick fixes and solutions. The two fairy-tale pastiche works informing this study are a novel, The Fairy Godmother, by fantasy author Mercedes Lackey, and a movie, Shrek 2. Both of these works feature fairy godmother characters that depart from canonical folktale and fairy-tale depictions. Associated with fate and wisdom, fairy godmothers act much as folklorists do by rewarding traditional behavior with gifts. Recent fairy godmother roles are hybrid and multivocal, illuminating ideologies and power structures in both society and …

On September 12, 2001, U.S. President George W. Bush gave voice to this mythic small-screen storyline as “a monumental struggle of good …
Alain De Roucy Et La Voix Anonyme De La Chanson De La Croisade Albigeoise, Paul Linden
Alain De Roucy Et La Voix Anonyme De La Chanson De La Croisade Albigeoise, Paul Linden
Scholarship and Professional Work - Communication
La Chanson de la Croisade Albigeoise, écrite entre 1212 et 1219, est le produit de deux auteurs successifs: Guillaume de Tudèle et un autre écrivain resté anonyme. Ces deux auteurs écrivent non seulement à chaud, mais ils sont partisans de factions opposées: Guillaume de Tudèle soutient la position des croisés français alors que l'auteur anonyme montre la perspective méridionale. Loin d'amoindrir la différence entre les deux perspectives comme l'a fait Michel Zink, cette étude considère au contraire l'anonymat comme une stratégie qui souligne les rapports entre la Chanson et un champ de bataille.2 Notons comment l'Anonyme s'attaque aux …
