“I’ve Become a Blue-winged Bird . . .”: Tracing Violent Deaths in Folktales with the Aid of an Algorithmic Companion
2025
Overview
Violence has played a significant role in historical narrative traditions, often reflecting broader societal norms and moral lessons. Violent deaths in Estonian folktales are examined across three subgenres: fairy tales, animal tales, and realistic tales. The analysis combines traditional folkloristic methods with AI-based corpus analysis. The study is based on a corpus of published archival texts, focusing on character roles, narrative structures, and thematic variations in the portrayal of violence. Proppian narrative functions are used to classify instances of violent death, assessing their prevalence and patterns.
