The Grapevine - UBC Creative Writing News

Presented by Green College and the UBC MA in Children’s Literature Program
Though most people consider fairy tales fascinating relics of the past, they
have actually
undergone numerous transformations and remain oddly modern even in the
twenty-first century. Using some key psychological and philosophical
categories from Sigmund Freud and Ernst Bloch, in this talk Professor Zipes
will discuss why fairy tales remain so important in our lives, and why
writers and artists continue to elaborate and re-create utopian and
carnivalesque motifs from the tales to re-shape perspectives on
possibilities for changing the world
