Abstract

Abstract:While Disney's sleeping heroine films—Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) and Sleeping Beauty 1959)—are often dismissed as repeating a capitalistic narrative, the rapid acceleration of environmental degradation across the globe is grounds enough to reexamine both films with an ecocritical lens. Using an interpictorial approach, this article offers a new way of viewing how nature was constructed in the films' storyboards while tracing connections with period-specific advertisements. Illustrations of wild nature expand the possibilities for troubling Disney's brand of villainized wilderness. But period advertisements implicate humankind's growing responsibility for the harm done to the planet.

图书插图与广告的印记:华特迪士尼《沉睡女主角》电影中的生态资源

摘要:迪斯尼的沉睡女主角电影——《白雪公主和七个小矮人》(1937年)和《睡美人》(1959年)——经常被认为是在重复资本主义叙事，但全球环境恶化的迅速加速，足以让我们用生态批评的视角重新审视这两部电影。本文采用跨画面的方法，提供了一种新的方式来观察自然是如何在电影的故事板中构建的，同时追踪与特定时期广告的联系。野生自然的插图扩大了迪士尼品牌的邪恶荒野的可能性。但是时代广告暗示了人类对地球所造成的损害负有越来越大的责任。

期刊介绍： Marvels & Tales (ISSN: 1521-4281) was founded in 1987 by Jacques Barchilon at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Originally known as Merveilles & contes, the journal expressed its role as an international forum for folktale and fairy-tale scholarship through its various aliases: Wunder & Märchen, Maravillas & Cuentos, Meraviglie & Racconti, and Marvels & Tales. In 1997, the journal moved to Wayne State University Press and took the definitive title Marvels & Tales: Journal of Fairy-Tale Studies. From the start, Marvels & Tales has served as a central forum for the multidisciplinary study of fairy tales. In its pages, contributors from around the globe have published studies, texts, and translations of fairy-tales from Europe, North America, Asia, and Africa. The Editorial Policy of Marvels & Tales encourages scholarship that introduces new areas of fairy-tale scholarship, as well as research that considers the traditional fairy-tale canon from new perspectives. The journal''s special issues have been particularly popular and have focused on topics such as "Beauty and the Beast," "The Romantic Tale," "Charles Perrault," "Marriage Tests and Marriage Quest in African Oral Literature," "The Italian Tale," and "Angela Carter and the Literary Märchen." Marvels & Tales is published every April and October by Wayne State University Press.
