I am seeking scholarly, research-based articles that explore and analyze different 21st-century “Cinderella” adaptations. This collection of essays will create a conversation about the contemporary “Cinderella.”

Topics for consideration may include, but are not limited to:

• Narrative stance and framing

• Rags to riches stories

• Speculative texts

• Film studies

• Manga and comics

• Male Cinderellas

• Gender and sexuality

• Queer adaptations

• Fairy godmothers

• Evil stepmothers

• Ugly stepsisters

• The glass slipper

• Transfigurement

• Animals

• Music and dance

• Disney

• Adaptation theory

• Cinderella intertexts

• Cinderella and race/ethnicity

All texts will be considered as long as the focus of inquiry is a 21st-century “Cinderella” adaptation, but I am especially interested in articles addressing "wokeness," the post-human, queerness, and bodies. We are under contract with Lexington. IMPORTANT: at this time, we are only accepting submissions from contributers who have a PhD.
