Fairyland-scape: Locus of Retelling and Remembering Ecocentric Tales
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This article explores how and why (re)constructions of Fairyland in Earthland can create fairyland-scapes that serve as sites of retelling and remembering ecocentric tales. To conceptualise and theorise the notion of fairyland-scape , the article employs folkloric memory as an approach, fairyland ecology as a method, and fairyland ecosystem as a model. To demonstrate and analyse the various forms and samples of fairyland-scape in practice, the article also examines the interplay between The Grimm Brothers’ Kinder- und Hausmärchen (Children’s and Household Tales) and Die Deutsche Märchenstraße (The German Fairy Tale Route) as a case study.
