"Framing Imagination in Television’s Arabian Nights." Narrative authority shifts between Scheherazade, her mad Sultan, Schahriar and the cinematic narrator throughout the 1999 television mini-series Arabian Nights. This shifting of authority serves to both enframe Scheherazade and diminish her authority as storyteller. At the same time, the programme’s framing techniques work to circumvent resistant readings of this very heteropatriarchal Western version of the Nights by presenting itself as an authentic yet modern revision of an ancient storytelling tradition.
