CANCELLED! Little Red Riding Hood - Traditions and Transformations in Literature, Art, and Film
Main content
Open Seminar April 23, 2010
Aud. D, Sydneshaugen skole, University of Bergen
Little Red Riding Hood has traveled across time and across the globe, making her appearance in numerous children's and adult's stories, novels, films, art productions, TV commercials, ads, comic strips, and porn. Alternatively innocent, disobedient or cunning, she has been gobbled up by the wicked wolf, rescued by various well-meaning woodsmen, fathers, grandmothers, or fairies, sometimes even sorting things out all by her self. Through explorations of literature, art and film, this seminar addresses what the enduring, transnational fascination with Little Red Riding Hood tells us about culture, the making of childhood, sexuality and gender, and the relationship between fiction and wider cultural concerns.
