Fairy Tales in Visual Media Project (Click for pdf of Paper):

Fairy Tale: Puss in Boots(ACFT) 

 I would like to compare Chareles parrault's version of puss in boots to the shrek version.   

I'm still looking for some really good images but i think these ones might be good conversation pieces. 

Final Paper (Rough Draft) (Final Version)

Fairy Tale: Puss in Boots vs Shrek+New Puss in Boots

Topic: I'll be looking at the comments on capitalism and their shifting opinion through the ages with various puss in boots stories. If i can i'd like to find a few more versions of puss in boots to see how they might interract with perraults or the modern tale as told through out Shrek 2 and 3 and the movie Puss in Boots

 A Couple of resources: 

Investigating Shrek: Power, Identity, and Ideology (book)

New Spirit of Capitalism by Boltanski and Chiapello ( http://link.springer.com.proxy.lib.wayne.edu/article/10.1007%2Fs10767-006-9006-9?LI=true#page-1 )

The Rhetoric of Harry Robinson's "Cat With the Boots On" ( http://muse.jhu.edu.proxy.lib.wayne.edu/journals/mosaic/v044/44.2.neuhaus.html )

As I mentioned before i would like to find a few different variants of the story aside from perraults and the modern tales through out the "Shrekverse"
