Abstract

Abstract:This article examines ABC's televisual fairy-tale adaptation Once Upon a Time (2011– present) by investigating how the organization of episodic storylines within the show challenges chronometric accounts of time, temporality, and growth. It considers how the female characters' emotional development in magical time facilitates a level of fluidity within representations of their growth and character development. Centrally, this article demonstrates how the intersection between form and content moves the tale away from a narrative of devil woman as crone to alternatively reinforce dominant Western ideas surrounding the importance of "ideal" development in youth.

魔幻时代的成长：ABC电视剧《从前》中女性成长与发展的表现

摘要:本文考察了美国广播公司改编自童话故事的电视剧《童话镇》(2011年至今)，探讨了剧中情节故事的组织方式如何挑战时间、时间性和成长的时间顺序。它考虑了女性角色在魔幻时代的情感发展如何促进她们成长和角色发展的表现的流动性。这篇文章主要展示了形式和内容之间的交集如何使这个故事从一个邪恶女人的叙述中摆脱出来，从而强化了围绕青年时期“理想”发展重要性的主流西方观念。

期刊介绍： Narrative Culture is a new journal that conceptualizes narration as a broad and pervasive human practice, warranting a holistic perspective that grasps the place of narrative comparatively across time and space. The journal invites contributions that document, discuss and theorize narrative culture, and offers a platform that integrates approaches spread across various disciplines. The field of narrative culture thus outlined is defined by a large variety of forms of popular narratives, including not only oral and written texts, but also narratives in images, three-dimensional art, customs, rituals, drama, dance, music, and so forth. Narrative Culture is peer-reviewed and international as well as interdisciplinary in orientation.
