I have a draft article analyzing a Kazakh trickster tale that was appropriated to present the idea of the "New Kazakh". In the article, I discuss how the folktale was adapted and then consider feedback form Kazakhs who met with me in focus groups. I would like to analyze this using the three levels of discourse as provided by Johnston (2002): representative, frame-aligning, and general. The article would explore the appropriated tale as frame-aligning discourse and the focus group discussions as general discourse and then consider how the text and talk interface with all three aspects of frame discourse. What are other examples of a comparable investigation? Which articles and book would you recommend? Would you have any suggestions as to steps in an effective process?
Larisa,
Thanks so much for your reply. I have downloaded the book and look forward to reading it.
All the best,
Erik
Hello Erik,
I've worked on translation of Kazakh trikster tales (Aldar Kose) in French. My diploma work is in Russian. If you are interested, I could find the text. I analysed the tales from morphological point of view (following Vladimir Propp's tradition) aligning some elements to Carl Jung's universal categories. I've also compared the French-Russian translations of Arabic stories on Khodzha Nassreddine to find the translation means used in the texts. Finally, I made some translations of selected stories on Aldar Kose in French.
Even if you don't speak Russian, we could continue the discussion cause the subject still interests me a lot.
Sincerely yours,
Yuliya
Hello Yuliya,
I would be keen on reading what you wrote about trickster tales from a morphological perspective. I can read French and I speak Russian conversationally. Thanks so much for your reply!
Erik
