Dr. Peter Gilet takes Vladimir Propp's 31-part structure of the European folktale and suggests a reduction to five moves. This allows Propp's structure to be applied successfully to stories from Africa, Eurasia, and the Americas, thus providing a widespread tale type, perhaps the main tale type in oral literature. Dr. Gilet also suggests that this type has strong meaningful similarities with shamanic and puberty initiation rituals in pre-industrial societies. Just how meaningful will be the object of future research.

The Author: Peter Gilet teaches English Literature at Universitas Kristen Satya Wacana in Salatiga, central Java, and has previously taught at Murdoch University (Perth, Australia) and at the University of Western Australia (Perth, Australia). He holds two doctorates, in Folklore and in Literature, from the University of Poitiers (Poitiers, France) and from the University of Western Australia (Perth, Australia) respectively. Dr. Gilet has taught extensively in medieval studies and has been published in Australian Folklore.
