Abstract

Abstract:Malinda Lo's 2009 young adult novel Ash extends the legacy of the "Cinderella" story by transforming the tale through a queer lens. The adaptation's heroine, Ash, must choose between joining the realm of the fairies or remaining amongst the living, as signified by her interest in Sidhean, a male fairy, and Kaisa, a female huntress. I argue that the novel further intertextually and metatextually queers the "Cinderella" story by including nonheteronormative relationships; depicting the queer time of fairy tales, dreams, and the carnivalesque; and demonstrating how certain gender and sexual identities are privileged.

“在这一切之下，一些尚未命名的东西正在成为焦点”:对马琳达·罗的《灰烬》的奇怪解读

摘要:罗玲达(Malinda Lo) 2009年出版的青少年小说《灰烬》(Ash)延续了《灰姑娘》的传统，通过酷儿视角对故事进行了改造。改编后的女主角阿什必须在加入仙女的王国和留在人间之间做出选择，这体现在她对男仙女西德恩(Sidhean)和女猎人佳莎(Kaisa)的兴趣上。我认为，这部小说通过包括非异性恋关系，在互文和元文上进一步使《灰姑娘》的故事变得古怪;描绘童话、梦境和狂欢节的怪诞时光;并展示了某些性别和性身份是如何享有特权的。

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.
