Fairy Tales and Girlhood: Stories of Transformation
ENGLISH 145CNS
Our focus in 'Fairy Tales and Girlhood' will be on the work of writers, artists, filmmakers, scholars, and designers who have been revising fairy tales since the 1970s to draw out their liberatory potential and have used their familiar themes to reveal and negotiate how girls (and their bodies) can appear in the world as political beings with their own stories, voices, desires, and aspirations.
Prerequisites
Reserved for first-year students in the Political Bodies constellation. Students may enroll in one constellation course per semester.
