Abstract

This article analyzes two contemporary tales in order to problematize the prescription of femininities produced by the traditional fairy tales and by the reactionary discourse. We argue, based on the concept of gender performativity thought by Judith Butler, that on one hand the anti-gender offensive prescribes that women need to be princesses and it spreads a reactionary discourse that produces authorized ways of performing femininities according to the traditional fairy tales. On the other hand, some contemporary fairy tales resist and re-exist to the reactionary discourse and gender norms and use the multicultural discourse to produce princesses that perform in different ways. Based on the cultural studies, we understand that the curriculum is cultural and it is a discourse that produces, authorizes and creates knowledge. It unfolds itself into different pedagogies. In this sense, the narratives of the fairy tales that commonly take place in the curriculum addressed to children compose a certain script regarding the learning of gender norms. They teach norms to girls and boys, prescribing normal femininities and masculinities. However, they can also problematize those norms. In the analyzed stories it was possible to observe other gender performative scripts (BUTLER, 2019). The research methodology was constructed with elements of the discourse analysis based on Foucault and the results showed that the narratives produce other ways of presenting the princess' behavior and plurality on the characterization of the characters' bodies.
