FYS-Myth&FairytaleReimgndStage

This seminar focuses on the traditional stories of myth and fairytale, the retellings of which appear to be having a resurgence in popular culture. By examining the presentation of these tales onstage (including by the eponymous Disney), we raise questions that are frequently overlooked when regarding material often seen as "childish": How do these stories assert social norms? What is the value of myths and fairytales being experienced collectively? In what way are these tales demonstrating life rituals or rites of passage?
