    Sex and Sin: the Magic of Red Shoes | Hilary Davidson

    13. SEX AND SIN THE MAGIC OF RED SHOES1 hilary davidson The enduring potency of red shoes, both as real items of footwear and as sym- bol and cultural force, has fascinated people of different cultures in very diverse ways. The “power” of red shoes is not recent. The prestige of red heels in seven- teenth- and eighteenth-century European courts is well known. Subsequently, red shoes have taken on other charges. This chapter will focus on Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale, The Red Shoes (1845).2 This literary work created symbolic associations which have become part of everyday cultural “usage” today. The power of Andersen’s fairy tale lies in its capacity to “dematerialize” red shoes by replacing their physicality with a symbolic meaning (Figure 13.1). This infusion of meaning into an object is a significant example of how dress and shoes are far from trivial and trivializing affairs. It established a template for the way in which red shoes were appreciated and comprehended in the twentieth century, especial- ly by women. 272 / HILARY DAVIDSON The understanding of red shoes proposed by Andersen was not just the result of a literary imagination. The writer was informed by precise ideas and concepts related to red footwear that had been developed in the period before he wrote his story. The peculiar psychological intensity of red shoes must also be further examined by considering Andersen’s life and personality. The Danish author’s neurotic self-obsession remained a constant feature of his literary production. Many of the features included in The Red Shoes have a psychological endurance in contemporary culture.

Not unlike scenes in the movie, snow-capped mountains served as a classic backdrop for much of the ride. Saturday would have been the late actor and director’s 78th birthday. Hopper lived in Taos for years and is buried here. Town Manager Rick Bellis says the day is aimed at recognizing Hopper’s con- tributions as a resident, a filmmaker, a supporter of the arts and for simply being a “colorful member” of the community. “His image really represents the spirit of Taos,” Bellis said. “He was independent, slightly eccentric A July 10, 1991 photo shows actor Dennis Hopper. but incredibly talented.
