Literature and Law: Fairy Tales, Animated Cartoons and Property Law

Summary/Abstract: Property law is present in every narrative, language and even in fairy tales as a fundamental right. The contribution, based on the fairy tales Up and The Emperor’s New Groove, aims to draw – in fairy tales as well as in reality – the boundaries within which this right can be exercised. The purpose of this paper, using an empirical and qualitative methodology, is to demonstrate how the use of fairy tales can be useful to teach young students of both primary and high school important concepts such as those part of the modern concept of “property” expressed recently by the legal doctrine and the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights.
