“…One of the most significant developments in recent years is that of post-modernism and feminism from both scholars and authors within the genre. In Post-Modern Fairy Tales: Gender and Narrative Strategy [3], Cristina Bacchilega provides an analysis of contemporary fairy tale "transformations" through the lens of folklore and literature studies. Bacchilega has also written specifically on feminist fairy tales.…”

“After Ever After”: Social Commentary through a Satiric Disney Parody for the Digital Age

"If you've ever wondered why Disney tales all end in lies," then ask YouTube artist Paint-aka Jon Cozart. He has created a video for YouTube.com that re-imagines what happened after four of Disney's leading ladies' "dreams came true." Continuing a tradition that is as old as the tales he sings about, the artist combines characters and melodies that have become culturally ubiquitous since the media domination of the Disney Corporation with an interpretation of the material that tries to make sense of the world in which it exists. Continuing the criticisms of post-modernism and feminist theory, Cozart challenges the "happily ever afters" that have become the stock endings for the genre. Through comedic satire he creates parodied storylines that bring four animated princesses out of their Disney realms and into the real world where they must deal with environmental destruction, racism, and colonialism, among other issues. The use of a video-sharing site such as Youtube.com not only allows for the expanded distribution of fan-created material, but it also directly addresses a wider audience than traditional oral story tellers could possibly reach: the Internet. This case study looks at the ways in which the global recognition of Disney culture allows for the creation of social commentary through familiar and beloved characters, while an increasingly digitally-connected world impacts the capabilities and understanding of both the creator and the viewers of the material. While far from being a new phenomenon, the reinterpretation of fairy tales takes on content and a form that reflects the increasingly globalized and digitized world in Cozart's Disney parody.

The GNU Hurd's design was motivated by a desire to rectify a number of observed shortcomings in Unix. Foremost among these is that many policies that limit users exist simply as remnants of the design of the system's mechanisms and their implementation. To increase extensibility and integration, the Hurd adopts an objectbased architecture and defines interfaces, which, in particular those for the composition of and access to name spaces, are virtualizable.This paper is first a presentation of the Hurd's design goals and a characterization of its architecture primarily as it represents a departure from Unix's. We then critique the architecture and assess it in terms of the user environment of today focusing on security. Then follows an evaluation of Mach, the microkernel on which the Hurd is built, emphasizing the design constraints which Mach imposes as well as a number of deficiencies its design presents for multi-server like systems. Finally, we reflect on the properties such a system appears to require.

A escrita de uma tese de doutorado é um ato solitário. Ao longo desse caminho, contei com a colaboração de algumas pessoas, às quais dedico minhas palavras de agradecimento: Aos meus familiares, por terem sido os primeiros incentivadores em minha vida.À professora Doutora Fernanda Aquino Sylvestre, não somente por ter aceitado me orientar nesse percurso acadêmico, mas pelas contribuições e palavras de incentivo.Aos professores do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos Literários, pela minha formação.A todos que, de uma forma ou de outra, me encorajaram a seguir e contribuíram para a realização deste trabalho."We need to know the writing of the past, and know it differently than we have ever known it, not to pass on a tradition but to break its hold over us" (RICH, 1985, p. 19).
