Re-Orienting the Fairy Tale: Contemporary Adaptations across Cultures seeks to "re-orient" the fairy tale across different cultures, media, and disciplines and proposes new approaches to the ever-expanding fairy-tale web in a global context with a special emphasis on non-Euro-American materials. Editors Mayako Murai and Luciana Cardi bring together emerging and established researchers in various disciplines from around the world to decenter existing cultural and methodological assumptions underlying fairy-tale studies and suggest new avenues into the increasingly complex world of fairy-tale cultures today.

Divided into three parts, the fourteen essays cover a range of materials from Hawaiian wonder tales to Japanese heroine tales to Spanish fairy-tale film adaptation. Chapters include an invitation from Cristina Bacchilega to explore the possibilities related to the uncanny processes of both disorientation and re-orientation taking place in the "journeys" of wonder tales across multiple media and cultures. Aleksandra Szugajew's chapter outlines the strategies adopted by recent Hollywood live-action fairy-tale films to attract adult audiences and reveals how this new genre offers a form of global entertainment and a forum that invites reflection on various social and cultural issues in today's globalizing world. Katsuhiko Suganuma draws on queer theory and popular musicology to analyze the fairy-tale intertexts in the works of the Japanese all-female band Princess Princess and demonstrate that popular music can be a medium through which the queer potential of ostensibly heteronormative traditional fairy tales may emerge. Daniela Kato's chapter explores the ecological dimensions of Carter's literary fairy tale and offers an ecofeminist interpretation of a fairy-tale forest as a borderland that lies beyond the nature-culture dichotomy.

Readers will find inspiration and new directions in the cross-cultural and interdisciplinary approaches to fairy tales provided by Re-Orienting the Fairy Tale.

True To Size
These shorts fit true to size and are so comfortable. They have a drawstring waist, so you can adjust them for the best fit and wide legs. They are 55% linen and 45% cotton so they keep you feeling cool. The classic colors go with nearly any other colors or designs, making them stretch your wardrobe potential and saving you money. They were extremely wrinkled upon arrival, so I used my fabric steamer, and within 5 min they looked perfect. I love these shorts and wear them all the time!

Cute 2-pack pair of shorts
Color: Black, White, Size: Medium, Color: Black, White, Size: Medium
Cute shorts that have pockets and fit true to size. I love that they come in a pack of two as well. The black ones are my favorite and I feel like the fabric is a little softer on the black pair. The white ones are a little thinner than I would like. I was wearing an olive green colored underwear underneath them in the pictures in my review and though you can’t see them much, I do feel like they were slightly visible. The white pair also had a lot of loose strings on them which made me think the quality might not be as good as with the black pair. They washed easily and I hung them up to dry them because they smelled kind of funny when they arrived.

Good value for 2 shorts
These come vacuum sealed and have crazy wrinkles... so be prepared to do some ironing. I ordered the Mediums as I am a 6-8. The black pair feels a bit smaller than the beige pair... with both feeling tighter than I like for comfort. The look nice on, but feel like it constricts my belly a bit too much. Overall a nice basic set of shorts, perhaps size up for a more comfortable fit.

Super soft and comfortable!
I haven't bought new underwear in forever. I used to wear thongs, but now find them incredibly uncomfortable. The last few times I've tried to buy new underwear, the sizing was either way off (I'm a medium, but gave up after having to return them for a large and then extra large) or the quality was horrible (two brands stretch waaaay out and they can fall down while wearing them (I have larger ass-ets, so they shouldn't start to slide down during use). I tried these after buying some bamboo pyjamas and I love them! They are incredibly soft, comfortable, and stretchy. I can use them all day, and they work well, whether I'm lounging on the couch or wearing them under my spandex shorts at the gym, they don't ride up or slide down. They are both comfortable and look sexy, while providing support in all the right places. I haven't had them too long, so I can't speak on the durability, but they appear to be of good quality and I plan to order more, this time without the band.

Well made, light fabric. Waist doesn't roll.
These bamboo underwear really do keep you cool. They fit true to size, and wear easily. the wide elastic waist band doesn't roll on me. They are comfortable to wear, washed and dried easily. The material has some stretch to it, but not a lot. Well made, no stray strings. Perfect fit for me. Just what I was looking for.
