While many of these films were popular successes and paved the way for the studio's other films to enter the global market, DEFA's fairy-tale corpus has not been studied in its entirety. In The Politics of Magic: DEFA Fairy-Tale Films, Qinna Shen fills this gap by analyzing the films on thematic and formal levels and examining their embedded agendas in relation to the cultural politics of the German Democratic Republic.--Provided by publisher 650 0 $a Motion pictures $z Germany (East) $x History. 650 0 $a Fairy tales in motion pictures. 610 20 $a DEFA $x History. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $x Political aspects $z Germany (East) 610 27 $a DEFA. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00516753 650 7 $a Fairy tales in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00919936 650 7 $a Motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027285 650 7 $a Motion pictures $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027353 651 7 $a Germany (East) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210274 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Series in fairy-tale studies. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180106063954.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6E1F431C55EF11E58B7A61D1DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
