Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Examining the interplay between fairy-tale films and contemporary politics, this book delves into how magic and reality intersect and challenge traditional binaries established since the Enlightenment. It critiques the relegation of magic to fantasy, arguing that postmodern perspectives—such as anti-racist, decolonial, disability, and feminist theories—complicate these distinctions. Through film, fairy tales can blur the lines, making magic tangible and infusing reality with wonder, ultimately questioning the definitions of both concepts throughout history and across cultures.
