Abstract :On the discursitivity of classical fairy tales in contemporary TV- and film productions. Narrative transformations and filmaesthetical adoptions explaining E. Kitsis’ / A. Horowitz’ Once upon a time and Guillermo del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth. Movie adaptions of fairy-tales and mere elements of fairy-tales are currently very popular. In regards of the discursive elements of popculture and a growing mediatization due to cinematic approaches of description, current TV and movie productions contain cultutral reminiscences of the traditional structure of classic fairy-tales. Dissolving limitations and with techniques of hybristic transformations of ancient fairy-tale knowledge, current movies based on fairy tales establish a genuine, postmodern, and unique narrative category by recoding discursive networks due to their narrative and cinematic aesthetics.
