Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella: Agency and Possibility amidst Conflict and Wonder
Abstract:By briefly considering the televised iterations of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammer-stein's Cinderella (as broadcast in 1957, 1965, and 1997) and analyzing the "Impossible/It's Possible" song, this essay investigates social conflict over several decades as signaled by what changes with the story and its production–reception circuit. These adaptations key on the power of possibility and therefore signal ways that agency, as the ability to act otherwise, may be bolstered in the face of cultural conflicts that constrain everyday social and individual experiences.
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.
