The article aims to contribute to the discussion on gender stereotypes in stories for children by mapping gender stereotypes in traditional fairy tales. The article presents fairy tales' value in children’s education and indicates potential dangers in traditional cultural transmissions, paying special attention to gender stereotypes. A selection of texts was analyzed in terms of their stereotypical gender portrayals. The methodological framework represents an interpretative paradigm in social sciences, using a qualitative method of analysis. The texts were purposely selected, and the most popular fairy tales were chosen: Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, which despite the passing of time, are still popular, widely read and also used in film adaptations. It was shown that in all analyzed fairy tales, there was a stereotypical division of roles according to gender. The article also presents possible ways to counteract gender stereotypes. A limitation of the article is that the analysis is limited to three fairy tales only, but the overarching value raises awareness of gender stereotypes in fairy tales for children.

Dongeng karya Grimm bersaudara telah banyak diadaptasi ke dalam media film, salah satunya adalah “Snow White”. Penelitian ini membahas distorsi yang muncul dalam dua film adaptasi “Snow White”, yaitu “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” (1937) produksi Disney dan “Snow White and the Huntsman” (2012) produksi Universal Pictures. Dengan metode penelitian kualitatif berupa analisis deskriptif, ditemukan bahwa setiap adaptasi tersebut melakukan perombakan besar terhadap isi cerita yang menyebabkan perbedaan dengan sumber aslinya, yakni karya Grimm bersaudara. Film “Snow White” yang diproduksi  oleh Disney mengalami proses adaptasi cerita, yakni dengan mengubah cerita yang pantas dan mudah diterima anak-anak. Adapun film produksi Universal Pictures menghasilkan suatu karya adaptasi yang berbeda, yaitu dengan adanya pengurangan atau penambahan dari cerita aslinya. Perubahan cerita tersebut ditujukan untuk menarik minat penonton. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa salah satu alasan perubahan yang dilakukan pada dua film adapatasi tersebut disebabkan oleh target penonton yang berbeda.Abstract:Grimm Brothers’ tales have been adapted into films.

This paper focuses on the two contradictory themes of feminism and victimizing women in Disney Classics, a series of films which are based on famous fairy tales and the development of the changes undergone by these stories over time. The study is carried out through an analysis of the themes of the stories with a critical feminist approach in three chronological stages. Previous studies have explored these themes, but no report to date has used a chronological approach to compare the significance of the mentioned themes with the stages of feminism. These stories develop in line with developments in society and widen their perspective when examined through a feminist lens, and this change is also reflected in the Disney treatments of these tales. Despite the similarities in the plots of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella, The Sleeping Beauty, and The Little Mermaid, the representations of the voice and agency of the female characters in these films differs significantly, especially in the case of Snow White.

Little Red Riding Hood

Near the end of her life, the Argentine poet Alejandra Pizarnik (1936-1972) wrote a series of short prose works that explicitly rewrite fairy tales or take up their atmosphere and some of their elements. Such is the case of “Violario” (1971), which rewrites Little Red Riding Hood, with an emphasis on the link between violence and sexuality, and “A tiempo y no” (1968) which highlights the most sinister elements of Snow White. This last story, along with Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid and Hansel and Gretel are also rewritten in prose pieces, poems and in her Diaries. This article analyzes how these rewritings take place—starting with the convergences and divergences with the hypotexts—to illuminate the anomalous and queer image of childhood created by Pizarnik. --- La poeta argentina Alejandra Pizarnik (1936-1972) hacia el final de su vida escribe una serie de prosas breves que recuperan explícitamente cuentos de hadas, o retoman su atmósfera y algunos de sus elementos. Tal es el caso de “Violario” (1971), que reescribe Caperucita roja, con un marcado énfasis en el cruce entre violencia y sexualidad, y “A tiempo y no” (1968) que retoma y subraya los elementos más siniestros de Blancanieves. Este último cuento, junto con La bella durmiente, La sirenita y Hansel y Gretel son recuperados también en otras prosas, poemas y en los Diarios. Indagar el modo en que tienen lugar estas reescrituras, a partir de las convergencias y divergencias con sus hipotextos, iluminará zonas de la infancia anómala y queer que Pizarnik configura.

Magic stories are extremely difficult to analyze, as they have both folklore (oral) and literary (written) existence, they are oriented towards the little ones, but at the same time they send messages to the adults and last but not least – they are almost always accompanied by illustrations, which further complicate and expand the meaning of the written. Artists become "translators" who have to adapt the content to the specific needs of the particular audience and the peculiarities of its time. Millions of children around the world have shaped their understanding of the roles of man and woman and the relationship between gender and behavior based on the well-known stories of ordinary girls rescued by princes, unusually appeared in their lives. This article will analyze the verbal and pictorial representation of the main characters in two of the most famous fairytales – "Cinderella" and "The Sleeping Beauty". The aim is to highlight certain patterns that have an important contribution to the formation of gender stereotypes in children and their dreams of happy and successful life.

The stereotype that emerges from some classic fairy tales is a princess who has a beautiful face and an angelic heart, a prince on a white horse who is handsome and charming, and a happy ending forever. These three sweet things are generally always the main menu served in bedtime fairy tales, including the classic fairy tales Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty. Besides sounding beautiful, the plot and characterization presented in the classic fairy tale represent a woman through feminine standards packaged through stereotypes. This research uses qualitative research methods and narrative analysis. The research results found details of the seven functional characters of the characters in the fairy tale. It can then be seen that various stereotypical representations aimed at women in the three tales, ranging from the obsession with natural beauty, misconceptions about the meaning of ambition, and marriage, are the solution for all the problems of a woman.
