Woke Cinderella: 21st-Century Adaptations
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.
