Saturday, July 9, 2011 ~ Class: Peter Pan: The Story of the Myth in Literature and Film - This class will study the origins and the strange evolution of the Peter Pan story. It begins with James Barrie’s short stories and a novella, and then his play. The original work has a dark, tragic side (Barrie was a not a children’s story writer) that has subsequently been transformed in very interesting ways. The class will look particularly at Barrie’s novella “Peter and Wendy,” and at the play, and will then look at the transformations and evasions of various film versions, especially Disney’s 1952 film, P.J. Hogan’s live-action “Peter Pan” of 2003, and the Peter Pan elements in films like George Clooney’s character in “Up in the Air” (2010). A separate myth has grown up around Barrie, and we’ll talk about that too. If myths explore and avoid life’s wounds, then “Finding Neverland” (2004) and Johnny Depp’s performance are good examples of myth at work.
