Why are fairy tales so popular and why are the original fairy tales so dark? How have gender stereotypes been portrayed and perpetuated in fairy tales and their film adaptations? This course will give an introduction to the origins and evolution of fairy tales with a focus on retellings in film, graphic novels and other media. A variety of fairy tales will be examined, ranging from Lotte Reiniger's and Disney’s adaptations to contemporary subversive and feminist films (Catherine Breillat, Angela Carter, etc). Fairy tales have been adapting to their sociohistorical context since their origins; we will explore how this is reflected in the evolution of cinema even within the Disney corporation. From traditional, submissive Sleeping Beauty (1959) to empowering Maleficent (2014) Disney has gone a long way in terms of representation, which is significant as the Disney brand is reflecting mainstream ideology. Special focus will be given to the forest as geographical and metaphorical space. The students will learn different approaches of film and media analysis, including comparative criticism, feminist and psychoanalytic interpretations.Ziele
Upon successful completion of this course, students will: -Have developed more general film and media analysis skills, in particular, regarding genre. -Have developed their ability to discuss films in a written and oral manner through presentations, in-class discussions and sequence analyses. -Have experience in critical analysis of films using different theoretical approaches such as psychoanalysis and feminist theory.Methoden
Interactive lectures and seminars that include film screenings, sequence analyses and group discussions, so that students are encouraged to participate and develop confidence in building up and expressing their critical thinking. Students are given feedback which they can then incorporate in their written assignments, which reinforces their analytical skills and pursuing their own research.
