Call for papers

Three-hundred and nineteen years since the publication of Charles 
Perrault’s famous /Histories du Temps Passé/, the myth of Cinderella 
remains integral to many current facets of our cultures.  Inspired by 
the University of Bedfordshire’s collection of scripts, books, 
theatrical memorabilia, designs, and ephemera on /Cinderella /and 
organised by the Research Institute for Media, Arts and Performance, 
this conference focuses on the role of performance and storytelling as a 
way to analyse moments of significant artistic, cultural and social change.


The interdisciplinary event will provide an open debate about this 
ever-present story from different cultural perspectives across the world 
and we invite abstracts of 300 words for 20 minute papers.  Possible 
themes include:


·Cinderella narratives and metaphors

·Cinderella on screen and stage

·Transnational Cinderella

·The publishing of Cinderella

·Victorian Cinderella

·Cinderella and design

Non-traditional proposals featuring collaborative papers, practice-led 
research, video-essays, elements of performance etc. where they increase 
our knowledge of the role of re-narration of fairy tales in artistic, 
cultural and social change are actively encouraged.  RIMAP wishes to 
offer a prize for the best Postgraduate proposal.
