TRAVELING COMPANIONS: BICENTENARY LITERARY ADAPTATIONS OF H. C. ANDERSEN TALES
No full textAdaptation is broadly defined, encompassing the re-working of virtually any
kind of text into virtually any other kind of text. Moreover, it frequently involves
the re-mediation of texts into entirely new forms. Even so, seemingly simple text-totext
adaptation of texts already frequently subject to adaptation can challenge both
traditional and theoretical concepts of adaptation. Such was the case with a major
Danish literary project undertaken in 2005.
Danish State Railways, Dansk statsbaner (DSB) commissioned a series of
adaptations of Hans Christian Andersen tales to be published in the DSB onboard
magazine Ud & Se [Out & See] to commemorate the two-hundredth anniversary of
H. C. Andersen’s birth. Resulting from the project were twelve original stories by twelve
Danish authors: Pia Juul, Jan Sonnergaard, Ib Michael, Iselin Hermann, Preben Major
Sørensen, Suzanne Brøgger, Bent Vinn Nielsen, Peter Laugesen, Kristian Ditlev Jensen,
Lars Frost, Erling Jepsen, and Naja Marie Aidt. Each author adapted a different Andersen
work, ranging from classics including “Den grimme ælling” [The Ugly Duckling], “Den
lille havfrue” [The Little Mermaid], and “Kejserens nye klæder” [The Emperor’s New
Clothes], to more obscure works such as “Dandse, dandse dukke min!” [Dance, Dance,
My Doll!]. Issued in book form as Reisekammeraten og andre H. C. Andersen-historier
i nye klæder [The Traveling Companion and Other H. C. Andersen Tales in New
Clothes] (Copenhagen, 2005), the collection demonstrates a wide range of approaches
to adaptation that seem to stretch the definition of adaptation to its limits
Domain-Oriented Conversation with H. C. Andersen
No full textThis paper describes the first running prototype of a system for domain-oriented spoken conversation with life-like animated fairy tale author Hans Christian Andersen. Following a brief description of the system architecture, we present our approach to the highly interrelated issues of making Andersen life-like, capable of domain-oriented conversation, and affective. The paper concludes with a brief report on the recently completed first user test
Female characters in the artistics tales of H. C. Andersen
No full textQuesta tesi affronta il tema dei personaggi femminili nei racconti artistici Dello scrittore danese Hans Christian Andersen. Si apre con l’introduzione alla letteratura per l’infanziae dei suoi sottogeneri, per poi concentrarsi soprattutto sulle fiabe e sui racconti artistici. Il grande protagonista di questa tesina è Hans Christian Andersen che con il suo meraviglioso lavoro è riuscito a creare una letteratura tutta sua: il racconto artistico. Andersen è uno scrittore danese che grazie alla sua fantasia e volontà, è riuscito a trovare un posto di spicco nella letteratura per l’infanzia scrivendo fiabe per bambini. Le sue fiabe sono del tutto speciali e uniche. Gli elementi dei racconti di Andersen sono talmente reali che il bambino può immedesimarsi in almeno uno dei suoi personaggi. Andersen ha dato anima e corpo per il suo lavoro, in quanto tutti i suoi sentimenti vengono trascritti al punto da creare un’espressione letteraria senza eguali, rendendolo un vero scrittore d’arte. Nonostante la sua fama mondiale, l’autore aveva una vita sentimentale poco appagante in quanto i suoi amori non venivano ricambiati.Tutto questo rammarico veniva trasformato in vendetta, ponendo i personaggi femminili dei suoi racconti in situazioni terrificanti. Le situazioni vissute da Andersen fecero sì che le sue eroine pagassero per tutte le delusioni amorose accadutegli nella vita reale. In tutta questa “storia triste”, Andersen è riuscito a dimostrare al lettore che la vita è piena d’ingiustizie e che non è sempre tutto è “rose e fiori”. L’autore vuole che il bambino risolva i problemi della vita con fantasia e pazienza. L’unicità dei suoi racconti consiste proprio nella sua capacità di immedesimarsi nel bambino. Il suo avvicinamento alla psiche del bambino -ancora in fase di sviluppo -è senza paure. L’autore riesce a portare il lettore nel suo mondo, dove la realtà può essere percepita in un contesto del tutto fiabesco. Andersen, dunque, verrà sempre ricordato per la sua narrativa e per l’avvicinamento al bambino come mai fatto prima. Grazie a tutto ciò, l’autore è riuscito a crearsi un posto nell’immortalità letteraria.Završni rad obrađuje tematiku ženskih likova u umjetničkim pripovijetkama danskoga pisca Hansa Christiana Andersena. Rad započinje uvodom u dječju književnost i njenim podžanrovima, a potom se usredotočuje na bajke i umjetničke pripovijetke. Andersenov čudesni opus stvorio je posebnu vrstu književnoga djela: umjetničku pripovijetku. Riječ je o autoru koji je, zahvaljujući upornosti i mašti, zauzeo istaknuto mjesto u dječjoj književnosti pišući nadasve posebne i jedinstvene bajke za djecu. Realistični elementi njegovih pripovijetki omogućavaju djetetu poistovjećivanje s njegovim likovima. Andersen je vrhunski pisac koji se dušom i tijelom posvetio svome radu, a njegovi su osjećaji preslikani u pripovijetkama, čime je stvoren jedinstveni književni izričaj bez premca. Andersen nije imao sreće u ljubavi, unatoč svjetskoj slavi. Gorčina koju je osjećao pretvorio je u svojevrsnu osvetu prema drugom spolu, pa su se upravo zbog toga ženski likovi u njegovim pričama često suočavali sa strašnim stvarima. Junakinje njegovih djela plaćale bi danak za sve ljubavne jade koje je pisac proživljavao u stvarnom životu. Andersen je u tom „tužnom kontekstu“ uspio dokazati čitatelju da je život pun nepravde te da nije uvijek sve med i mlijeko. Pisac želi potaknuti dijete da svoje životne probleme rješava kroz maštu i sa strpljenjem. Njegove su pripovijetke jedinstvene upravo zahvaljujući autorovoj sposobnosti da se poistovjeti s djetetom. Andersen prilazi bez straha djetetovoj psihi u razvoju, a time ujedno uvlači čitatelja u svijet gdje je zbilju moguće percipirati u nadasve bajkovitom kontekstu. Andersen će zauvijek biti zapamćen po svom maštovitom izričaju i po približavanju djetetu kao nitko prije. Zahvaljujući svemu tome, autor je uspješno zauzeo svoje mjesto u književnoj vječnosti.This thesis deals with the female characters in the artistic tales of the Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen. It opens with the introduction to children’s literature and its subgenres, and then focuses mainly on fairy tales and artistic stories. Andersen's remarkable opus has succeeded in creating a specific literary form: the artistic story. Thanks to his own will and imagination, the author assumed a prominent place in children's literature by writing unique and special fairy tales for children. The elements of his narrative are so real that the child can identify himself with at least one of his characters. Andersen was a superb writer who devoted himself to his work with heart and soul, since all his feelings were projected into his narrative, thus creating a unique and unmatched literary expression. Andersen had no luck in love, despite his worldwide fame. The bitterness he felt turned into a kind of revenge against the other sex, which is why the female characters in his stories often face terrible situations. Thus, his heroines pay for all the woes he experienced in real life. In this "unhappy context", Andersen succeeded in showing the reader that life is full of injustices and that not everything is always a bed of roses. The author wants the child to solve life's problems with imagination and patience. The uniqueness of his tales consists in his ability to identify himself with the child. Andersen approaches the child's developing psyche without any fear, bringing the reader into a world where reality can be perceived in a fairy-tale context. Therefore, Andersen will always be remembered for his fantastic narrative and the way he approached the child like no one before. Thanks to that, he is considered to be one of the best authors of children’s literature
Quest and Place in Carl Hansen and Hans Christian Andersen
No full textCarl Hansen and Hans Christian Andersen demonstrate a number of similar characteristics as authors. Both wrote their stories with their respective readership in mind. Both authors strove to establish character and setting with as few words as possible. Both knew their audiences well and made use of scenes, places, and experiences that their readers recognized. Each man was also driven to become an author, albeit for slightly different reasons. Hans Christian Andersen was, according to Sven H. Rossel, single-minded in pursuit of art and recognition, 1 while Carl Hansen relates that some five years before he emigrated to the United States he [had] caught the disease \u27digteritis,\u27 the nagging urge to write and be published. 2 They both demonstrate as well an understanding of the folkloric concepts of quest and place. The goal of this paper will be to show how they represent these concepts by comparing three short stories by Carl Hansen with three of Andersen\u27s well-known tales

Evaluation of two automated enzyme-immunoassays for detection of thermophilic campylobacters in faecal samples from cattle and swine
No full textWe evaluated the performance of two enzyme-immunoassays (EIA) for the detection of naturally occurring, thermophilic Campylobacter spp. found in faecal samples from cattle (n = 21 and n = 26) and swine (n = 43) relative to the standard culture method, and also assuming that none of the tests was the definitive standard. The primary isolation both for the culture and the EIA methods was carried out by overnight selective enrichment in Preston broth. The results showed good sensitivities for both EIA methods in cattle (95% and 84%) and swine (88% and 69%) samples. However, when testing cattle samples, EIA-2 method resulted in a rather low specificity (32%). This seemed to be partially due to the isolation of nonthermophilic species. In conclusion, EIA-1 method may provide a simple and fast tool with good accuracy in cattle and swine samples for automated screening of large number of samples
Independence: The Fall Of Andersen And The Rise Of Sarbanes Oxley
No full textIn this study, the author examines the audit firms’ fees associated with audit services and audit-related services as a percentage of total fees charged to individual firms as reported to the SEC. This study was motivated by discussion of the impacts on audit opinions of the amount of work beyond an audit for which an auditing firm contracts. The results indicate that the fees that Arthur Andersen charged its individual clients indeed had a lower percentage of total fees associated with audit work. Further, for the year 2002, on average, firms reported a higher percentage of fees from auditors were associated with audit work. Firms that previously contracted with Arthur Andersen contracted significantly less non-audit services than their counterparts
The debt of H. C. Andersen. Textuality between “The Emperor’s New Clothes” (1837) and El conde Lucanor (1330-1335)
No full text“El traje nuevo del emperador” (1837), de Hans Christian Andersen,
presenta gran similitud con una de las narraciones del escritor español don Juan Manuel,
autor de El conde Lucanor, obra escrita entre los años 1330 y 1335. Varios estudiosos han
descrito las coincidencias, pero ninguno ha profundizado en el vínculo textual que las une. El
presente estudio repasa los antecedentes literarios tanto del texto de Juan Manuel como del de
Hans Christian Andersen, basados ambos en las prácticas literarias de la recreación y el
préstamo, y analiza la relación entre las dos narraciones a partir de la teoría de la
transtextualidad desarrollada por Gerard Genette.“The Emperor’s New Clothes” (1837) by Hans Christian Andersen, has a
great similarity to one of the narratives of the Spanish writer Don Juan Manuel, author of El
conde Lucanor, written between 1330 and 1335. Several scholars have described the
similarities, but none has pointed out a clear textual relationship. It has been said that the
Danish text borrows “inspiration” from the Hispanic narrative, but this explanation is vague
for literary theory. This study examines the link between the two stories by making use of
the theory of transtextuality by Gérard Genette.Norwegian Quota Scholarship Schem
