This monograph aims to counter the assumption that the anti-tale is
a 'subversive twin' or dark side of the fairy tale coin, instead it
argues that the anti-tale is a genre rich in complexity and radical
potential that fundamentally challenges the damaging ideologies and
socializing influence of fairy tales. The Feminist Architecture of
Postmodern Anti-Tales: Space, Time and Bodies highlights how
anti-tales take up timely debates about revising old structures,
opening our minds up to a broader spectrum of experience or ways of
viewing the world and its inhabitants. They show us alternative
architectures for the future by deconstructing established
spatio-temporal laws and structures, as well as limited ideas
surrounding the body, and ultimately liberate us from the shackles
of a single-minded and simplistic masculine reality currently
upheld by dominant social forces and patriarchal fairy tales
themselves. It is only when these masculine fairy tales and social
architectures are deconstructed that new, more inclusive feminine
realities and futures can be brought into being.
