The inaugural event of the Cambridge Research Network for Fairy-Tale Studies aims to explore the representations and remediations of fairies and witches in Italian popular culture from the nineteenth century to the modern day from an interdisciplinary and transmedial perspective. It will host early-career and senior scholars working at the intersection of women’s and gender studies, media studies, popular culture, children’s literature, folklore and fairy-tale studies. Our guest of honour will be Prof. Jack Zipes.
