Section Info:
SP22 - Global Fairy Tales and Folklore Retold Fairy tales and folklore have long been—and remain—a popular source of material for writers to reproduce, elaborate, converse with, and transform. In this course, we will explore how contemporary authors retell and repurpose traditional tales and figures from folklore from around the world, paying special attention to the pleasures of familiarity and the powers of surprise. How do the tales change as writers reproduce them across time for different audiences? How have the tales, in various forms, been used to entertain and instruct? What types of characters appear again and again across time and place? What kinds of conversations emerge between past and present through the telling and re-telling of a tale? We will explore these questions by reading literary fairy tales and stories from global folklore traditions alongside works by authors such as Angela Carter, Neil Gaiman, Diana Wynne Jones, Daniel M. Lavery, Malinda Lo, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, and Nnedi Okorafor.
