Description
Re-Orienting the Fairy Tale: Contemporary Adaptations across Cultures brings together emerging and established researchers to decenter traditional fairy tale studies. This collection proposes new approaches to understanding the global context of fairy tales, with a focus on non-Euro-American materials. The fourteen essays cover a range of materials from Hawaiian wonder tales to Japanese heroine tales, as well as film adaptations and popular music analyses. By exploring the uncanny processes of disorientation and re-orientation in fairy tale cultures across multiple media and disciplines, this book invites reflection on various social and cultural issues in today's globalizing world. Through its diverse perspectives and approaches, Re-Orienting the Fairy Tale offers a nuanced understanding of the evolving nature of fairy tales in contemporary culture.
