Film and the Folktale Canon - ENGL708
This unit examines how the film industry has defined folktale for the twentieth century, especially its contents and structures. It seeks to enhance students' research abilities by having them develop their own projects. A key aim of the unit is to understand the significances given to the 'universal' structural elements employed in film and television versions of folktale, and their potential for ideological impact on culture. This is especially pertinent when it comes to the promotion of particular cultural formations and the containment of change (as in the shifting representations of limited female agency).
