(What are Fairy Tales? What do they mean? Despite conventi...)
What are Fairy Tales? What do they mean? Despite conventional wisdom, they are not ageless and universal stories. Through the adaptation of oral studies into literary texts, these tales have been edited, rewritten and modified according to the zeitgeist of the authors. They have been designed within particular socio-historical and cultural contexts. The book looks at the literary work of Charles Perrault in seventeenth-century France and the Brothers Grimm in nineteenth-century Germany. It also presents the Fairy Tale Ballets by Marius Petipa who choreographed Sleeping Beauty and the Nutcracker for the Imperial Ballet in Russia. Finally, under a postmodern infatuation with convention, it discusses contemporary Dance-Theatre Fairy Tales works, such as Pina Bausch's Bluebeard, Maguy Marin's Cinderella, and Kinematic's The Maiden Without Hands.

Quotations: Katia Canton told CA; "I am a journalist — writing is my life. My main interests as a writer concern issues related to the history and criticism of contemporary culture. My writing relates directly to my work. I am a professor of contemporary art history, a museum curator, and an art critic for the main newspaper in Brazil. I see myself as a storyteller. I tell tales of the artistic manifestations produced in our culture. My job is to try to relate and to reflect upon these different artistic manifestations: art, literature, dance, video, cinema, performance, theater. These are human products that demand reflective thought."
