Culture is the accumulation of knowledge gained by a particular group of
people over time through experiential living. My object is a book by Charles
Perrault titled “Histoires ou contes du temps passé” (Stories from past times).
Once upon a time, we’re all aware of this phrase aren’t we? The first
documented use of this phrase was by Charles Perrault a French author who
has been credited with writing tales such as The Sleeping Beauty, Little Red
Riding Hood, Cinderella and many more stories which we love and adore.
In
Bengali, folk stories and fairytales, the sort that grandparents tell
grandchildren before bed, often begin, “In some country there was…”. In
another Indian language, Telugu, stories start “Having been said and said and
said…”. In English, of course, it is “Once upon a time…”. In Korean, a typical
fairytale begins: “Once, in the old days, when tigers smoked...”. In Catalan,
spoken in the north-east of Spain, a story may start with, “Once upon a time
in a corner of the world where everybody had a nose…” or, “Once upon a time,
when the beasts spoke and people were silent…”.
Meanwhile, in Yoruba –
spoken in Nigeria among other countries – stories begin with the gleeful
announcement: “Here is a story! Story it is.” In Chile, the story begins with an
instruction: “Listen to tell it and tell it to teach it.”But there are some
similarities as well. Polish fairy tales often begin, “Beyond seven mountains,
beyond seven forests…”, which is similar to some Indian stories, “They say
seven forests and seven mountains, and we say seven rivers and seven seas.
It’s traveled so much and it’s beautiful to see how people refer to time and
place.”
We understand culture as the ideas, customs, and social behavior of a
particular people or society; and so I chose this object as a way to show the
creation of a culture revolving around folktales that transcends other borders
like nationality or age.
