Indeed, modern fairy-tale adaptations, pervading contemporary popular culture, drastically subvert, shatter, and alter the public's understanding of the classic fairy tale. Because of the phenomenally increasing proliferation of fairy-tale transformations in today's "old" and "new" media, we must reflect upon the significance of the fairy tale for society and its social uses in a nuanced fashion. How, why, and for whom have fairy-tale narratives, characters, and motifs metamorphosed in recent decades? What significant intermedial and intertextual relationships exist nowadays in connection with the fairy tale? This Special Issue features eleven illuminating articles of thirteen scholars in the fields of folklore and fairy-tale studies, tackling these and other relevant questions. 606 $aFairy tales 615 0$aFairy tales. 676 $a398.2 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910765828903321 996 $aFairy Tale and Its Uses in Contemporary New Media and Popular Culture$93653081 997 $aUNINA
