Abstract:Similarly to the fairy-tale web, legend webs constitute shared worldviews and self-reflexive critiques of worldviews for tellers, writers, auditors, and readers of legends and legend-based narratives as found in literature and mediated narrative. This article examines Karen Joy Fowler's engagement in legend webs in her novels Sarah Canary, The Sweetheart Season, and Sister Noon. Fowler incorporates numerous historical and contemporary legends, sometimes including supernatural motifs, highlighting the operation of ostension (acting on belief in legend) as a form of epistemological inquiry and societal critique. Legend webs create an aesthetics of curiosity, parody, and doubt.

Abstract:While Disney's sleeping heroine films—Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) and Sleeping Beauty 1959)—are often dismissed as repeating a capitalistic narrative, the rapid acceleration of environmental degradation across the globe is grounds enough to reexamine both films with an ecocritical lens. Using an interpictorial approach, this article offers a new way of viewing how nature was constructed in the films' storyboards while tracing connections with period-specific advertisements. Illustrations of wild nature expand the possibilities for troubling Disney's brand of villainized wilderness. But period advertisements implicate humankind's growing responsibility for the harm done to the planet.

Abstract:As the COVID-19 pandemic swept the world in 2020, UN Women Europe and Central Asia's Awake Not Sleeping: Reimagining Fairy Tales for a New Generation Initiative brought over 120 feminist writers and gender experts together through a series of online workshops and writers' circles. The key purpose of these workshops was to consider how gender inequality and its intersecting issues could be explored and reimagined in fairy tales and to support writers to create a decidedly different and transformative fairytale collection. Written from multiple perspectives this article describes the development and editing process that shaped this collection, the principle of care that was core to the initiative, and the importance of engaging storytelling with deep respect for the reflective and creative capacity of young readers.

Abstract:In this article I discuss the "unnatural" as depicted in experimental Victorian and post-modern fairy tales, and I argue for thinking about cognitive narratology, fairy-tale studies, and a re-elaborated uncanny together. The article showcases how specific Victorian and postmodern fairy tales focus on reshaping fairy-tale tropes in surprising and defamiliarizing ways. I focus on how the complex figure of the mirror, the feeling of wonder and the wondrous features of fairy tales, and the idea of hybridity as a manifestation of complexity and heterogeneity, all contribute to the uncanny in literary fairy tales by Lewis Carroll and Italo Calvino.
