This course addresses a select number of fairy tales and related films. It It examines the multiple ways in which tales of wonder provide a metaphoric context for human adaptation & interpretation. Fairy tales evoke themes of childhood, development, & home, as well as critical methods including structuralism & psychoanalysis. Through a focus on films, presented weekly for screening along with relevant descriptive, theoretical & literary texts, we take a critical approach to fairy tales.
