This one-day interdisciplinary conference brings together papers on a great variety of version(s) and rendering(s) of beauty and the beast – whether in cinema, literature or other media – and also on the pairing of “beauty” with “beast” in the widest possible sense; rediscovering the tale in unexpected places.
