Vladimir I͡Akovlevich Propp

"This book will give Propp's admirers in the English-speakling world a whole new perspective on this distinguished scholar's contribution to folkloristics. Liberman provides the necessary background in terms of Russian/Soviet intellectual (and political) currents to place Propp's work in a new light. No student of structuralism in folklore can afford to miss Liberman's anthology." - Alan Dundes (from cover).

Morphologie du conte

Eleazar Moiseevič Meletinskij

Parue en 1928, la Morphologie du conte est à l'analyse structurale du récit que le Cours de Saussure est à la linguistique : la source d'inspiration. Cent contes de fées russes permettront à Propp d'identifier une matrice dont tous les autres sont issus. Reconnaissant en lui son précurseur, Lévi-Strauss évoque son " immense mérite " et ses " intuitions prophétiques ".La présente traduction est la première à suivre l'édition russe définitive de 1969 ; s'y ajoutent une étude complémentaire de Propp : " Les transformations des contes merveilleux " ; et un essai de E.M. Meletinski qui recense les échos suscités par ce livre dans le monde entier.

suivi de Les transformations des contes merveilleux

An extensive investigation of the forms and functions of the comic, this lively and engaging English critical edition will be welcomed by those interested in laughter, comedy, folklore, Russian literature, and specific authors such as Gogol, Pushkin, Chekhov, Rabelais, Molière, and Shakespeare. The direct, humorous, and provocative style of this work, which tackles the subject of humour with a vast array of vivid examples encountered on every page, will certainly appeal to the contemporary reader. Vladimir Propp takes various forms of laughter in literature and real life and addresses questions such as the comic of similarity, the comic of difference, parody, duping, incongruity, lying, ritual laughter, and carnival laughter. The author of the widely acclaimed Morphology of the Folktale has written an original, comprehensive, and exciting study on how humour works, and on everything you wanted to know about the genre, in a clear, approachable, and insightful manner.
