Creation, re-creation, and entertainment: early modernity and postmodernity

selected essays from the 46th Annual Conference of the North American Society for Seventeenth-Century French Literature, Rollins College & The University of Central Florida, June 1-3, 2016

Orlando, Florida, may be one of the best places to discuss the subject of creation and re-creation of entertainment: the city lives under the shadow of Disney corporation, whose most celebrated re-creations are based on French texts from the 17th century French literature, and in particular Perraults fairy tales. From this perspective, whether we speak of fireworks behind a princes castle, a morality tale to entertain children and parents alike, or even a theatrical representation that seems to appear from magic, the three hundred years that separate Orlando and Versailles seem to disappear: the parallels between the 17th and 21st centuries are founded on the same drive to enliven and enlighten one's world. With the help of our Editorial committee, we are proud to present a collection of articles on the theme: Creation, Re-creation, and Entertainment: Early Modernity and Postmodernity.
