Masculinities in Two Novelized YA "Cinderella" Adaptations: Disrupting Hegemonic Power and Relationship
Abstract:The prince in "Cinderella" tales by Perrault, the Grimm Brothers, and Disney is invariably a nondescript character. In Mechanica (Betsy Cornwell, 2015) and Cinder (Marissa Meyer, 2012), the YA novelized adaptations on which I focus, the princes are fully developed characters who disrupt hegemonic power and relationships. They enact personalized masculinities with characteristics of the Sensitive New Man (SNM) as they envision sovereignty as service, are committed to issues of social justice and engage in egalitarian relationships. The female focalizers in Mechanica and in Cinder have the potential to influence young female readers to develop a preference for men who exhibit SNM characteristics.
期刊介绍:
Marvels & Tales (ISSN: 1521-4281) was founded in 1987 by Jacques Barchilon at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Originally known as Merveilles & contes, the journal expressed its role as an international forum for folktale and fairy-tale scholarship through its various aliases: Wunder & Märchen, Maravillas & Cuentos, Meraviglie & Racconti, and Marvels & Tales. In 1997, the journal moved to Wayne State University Press and took the definitive title Marvels & Tales: Journal of Fairy-Tale Studies. From the start, Marvels & Tales has served as a central forum for the multidisciplinary study of fairy tales. In its pages, contributors from around the globe have published studies, texts, and translations of fairy-tales from Europe, North America, Asia, and Africa. The Editorial Policy of Marvels & Tales encourages scholarship that introduces new areas of fairy-tale scholarship, as well as research that considers the traditional fairy-tale canon from new perspectives. The journal''s special issues have been particularly popular and have focused on topics such as "Beauty and the Beast," "The Romantic Tale," "Charles Perrault," "Marriage Tests and Marriage Quest in African Oral Literature," "The Italian Tale," and "Angela Carter and the Literary Märchen." Marvels & Tales is published every April and October by Wayne State University Press.
