SUMMARY:Smithsonian Associates: Feminist Fairy Tales - Who Needs a Prince?
DESCRIPTION:You might have heard something like this: “I don’t want my daughter reading fairy tales!” or “Fairy tales are so sexist. All these girls needing a prince to save them!” But the truth is that the politics of gender in fairy tales are much more complicated than these statements acknowledge. \nIn fact\, modern fairy-tale studies grew out of debates over how gender and sexism play out in traditional tales. Scholars have grappled with questions such as why so many famous fairy-tale heroines are waiting to be rescued—and whether they really need rescuing at all. Or they might find that something else is actually going on in the plot of these familiar stories\, and also wonder what kinds of fairy tales have happy endings that aren’t dependent on a heroine’s rescue by a handy prince. \nSuch investigations revolutionized questions of gender and sexuality\, opened the door to queer interpretations of classic tales\, and rediscovered rich archives of tales with active hero(ines) of all genders. This work has even spurred the creation of new fairy tales that reflect contemporary mores in old stories. \nJoin folklorists Sara Cleto and Brittany Warman on March 13th at 6:45PM ET as they explore the roots of fairy-tale studies; look at familiar tales such as Cinderella and Bluebeard as well as some of their lesser-known versions; uncover a treasury of unfamiliar tales; and illustrate how scholarly discussions of sex and gender have transformed the art of the fairy tale as we know it. \nClick here to grab your tickets!
