Description
Social Order and Authority in Disney and Pixar Films contributes to an essential, ongoing conversation about how power dynamics are questioned, reinforced, and disrupted in the stories Disney tells.
Whether these films challenge or perpetuate traditional structures (or do both), their considerable influence warrants careful examination.
This collection addresses the vast reach of the Disneyverse, contextualizing its films within larger conversations about power relations.
The depictions of surveillance, racial segregation, othering, and ableism represent real issues that impact people and their lived experiences.
Unfortunately, storytellers often oversimplify or mischaracterize complex matters on screen.
To counter this, contributors investigate these unspoken and sometimes unintended meanings.
By applying the lenses of various theoretical approaches, including ecofeminism, critiques of exceptionalism, and gender, queer, and disability studies, authors uncover underlying ideologies.
These discussions help readers understand how Disney’s output both reflects and impacts contemporary cultural conditions.
