Title
Life Is Like A Chicken Coop Ladder: A Study Of German National Character Through Folklore (Great Lakes Books (Paperback)),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Life Is Like a Chicken Coop Ladder was first published in 1984 and from the outset inspired a wide variety of reactions ranging from high praise to utter disgust. Alan Dundes' theses identifies a strong anal erotic element in German national character, citing numerous examples of scatological data from authentic compilations of German folklore. The examination of this single trait of German character is used to demonstrate that national character exists and that its existence is unambiguously documented by the folklore of a nation. Dundes is of the opinion that the use of folkloristic data minimizes subjective bias in the study of national character, since unedited or uncensored, it constitutes a unique way of looking at a culture from the insideout rather than from the outsidein, the more typical situation of an outside observer trying to understand a foreign culture.
