Because of their enduring popularity worldwide, fairy tales can be considered the paradigm of human narrative. And how did fairy tales originate? What do they mean nowadays? Are they really universal, ageless and anonymous as most household literary collections ask us to believe?Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This dissertation denies this latter idea, arguing that fairy tales have become 'mythicized' in the Western society. 'Mythicization' is a concept taken from Roland Barthes's discussion of 'myth' as a collective representation that was socially determined but later inverted, taken out of context. The research articulates the thesis that fairy tales have authors, who have constantly recreated particular versions of fairy tales, according to their own socio-historical contexts and the moral, cultural, political values encoded within them.
520 $a In order to embody this thesis, the research looks at the way fairy tales appear in different media, at different times and places in the Western civilization. It discusses the way Charles Perrault's "Mother Goose" tales embedded values taken from Louis XIV court in seventeenth century France and compares it to the way the Brother Grimms' collection reflects and mirrors ideas associated with German nationalism at the time of its unification. It later presents fairy tales as thematic sources for classical ballet with Petipa's pieces in late nineteenth-century tsarist Russia. Finally, the study analyses three contemporary dance-theater productions based on fairy tales: Cinderella (1985), by French danse nouvelle choreographer Maguy Marin, Bluebeard (1977) by German tanztheater choreographer Pina Bausch, and The Girl Without Hands (1987), by American group Kinematic. These three works are considered anti-mythical, as they confront the mythicized, old values imprinted on fairy tales from Perrault in seventeenth-century France to Walt Disney in twentieth-century America. The three pieces offer fresh ways of looking at the stories, which in fact recuperates the utopian aspects that folk and fairy tales had in their own historical beginnings.
