TERRORS OF CHILDHOOD IN GRIMMS FAIRY TALES - WI...

Questioning culturally predetermined consolidations of childhood experience  this study focuses
on memory and affect on the verge of linguistic formulation. Fairy tale plots frequently
function as cover-ups of a deeply rooted violence that expresses itself through sensibilities
of the skin and in presymbolically charged cataclysms. In a narrative border zone  early
linguistic and psychic events reemerge with primordial force. Split into seemingly
irreconcilable opposites  good and evil engage in warfare with each other  cannibalism and
infanticide take hold of family life. Four tales are presented here as related in 1857 by the
Brothers Grimm  along with new translations. Through in-depth readings of these intricately
interpersonal texts  this inquiry explores a frightful silence.
