| I think it was Casper that asked about the pertinence of the pumpkin in the tale of Cinderella.
The pumpkin is a very modern invention in this "märchen" narrated by Perrault.
The pumpkin was added by Walt Disney (Cinderella - 1950). There is no mention of this cucurbitacae in Perrault's fairy story.
It is incredible how image can supercede oral tradition in this way. Cinderalla (Cendrillon en français) is a very ancient orally transmitted tale that Perrault adapted for his famous "Contes de ma Mère l'Oie" - Tales of Mother Goose - in the 17th century.
In English, the story of Cinderella was know under the name of "Cap o' Rushes" until Perrault's tale replaced it in most of Europe.
Two Italians, Giov Francesco Straparòla (Le piacevoli notti - 1550) and Giambattista Basile in (Pentamérone - 1634-36), both included adaptations of Snow white, The sleeping beauty... in their works long before Perrault (to whom they are often attributed).
Hehe, I love tales "märchen" and fairy tales "kunstmärchen".
I am trying to define the underlying symbolism for which each of them were invented and have been doing so for some years now.

| Oh. Thanks.
I entered the Cinderella page on wikipedia but I didn't have patience to read.
I think Disney ruined a few stories (like Alice in Wonderland). What in the they think they are doing.
So good they didn't film 'Little Prince'( Le Petit Prince). It would become a movie for babies. |

| I have a copy of Little Prince in u Corsu. I'll have to find it on the shelves and scan it and send it to Goncin.
In u Corsu it's called "Principellu"

| It is translated into swedish, norwegian and danish under the name: "Den lille prinsen"

| OK; Xini's in it now too. I think I like it better without the names - what do you guys think?
 |
|
10 August 2007 21:14 |
| I think the names is quite nice to see, at least for those who don't read the complete thread.
Why not put the names as a very small note in the right/left corner, of the photo, and use a suitable colour so they can be seen properly.
This is very nice and it is fascinating that we represent so many different languages and countries. Why not try to collect all experts and administrators... |

| Wow. It would fill the whole Berliner Mauer. |
|
10 August 2007 21:20 |
| How about if I number the pictures and put a "legend" at the bottom? |
|
10 August 2007 21:31 |
| No, not with some expert and admins... it would be a very small Mauer then.
Kafetzou, yes notes or so whatever you find looks good!

| 63 experts(and all admins are experts).
By the way: today Cucumis passed the number of 50.000 registered members. |
|
10 August 2007 21:47 |
| Yes if everybody submits a photo, I don't think they'll do that. Furthermore some of the experts are absent (esp. polish, out of my point of view) so it vill be almost like an extended EU flag!
Congratulations cucumis!

| Or the Nepal flag:
Obs.: only red&blue part is the flag. |

| I think we could use Lauras photo ring to illustrate the cucumis home page.
It's Thatha's comment about us having a breather because we're not translating machines, ut real human beings which coupled with Laura's photoshop beauty, that the idea came to mind.
I like it with the names over the photos, as Jim suggested, with a contrasting colour, so they stand out well, and maybe with the flag of the country for which the person expertises or for which they translate.
I used to be a layout artist, before being pensioned off. I have some great ideas, and can still visualise things well, but I never mastered DTP, so I can only make suggestions, not actually create any more

| No, Jim.
Justa little cross-eyed, because it became hard to read the other messages. hahahahahha
As I am a webdesigner, I use to deal with image editors. I think I could make something about it, but Laura's poster is just great.  |
