Description
The Disney phenomenon has evolved significantly since its early days as an academic field. Discussing Disney brings together 12 papers that explore various aspects of the company and its impact, drawing from diverse disciplines such as history, mythology, film studies, gender studies, and musicology. As the field of Disney Studies continues to grow, it has established itself as a valid subject of academic enquiry in its own right. This collection of essays seeks to continue this evolution, moving beyond the initial discourse that focused on justifying the legitimacy of Disney Studies within the academy. By examining the outputs of the Disney company and the company itself through different lenses, these papers demonstrate the breadth and depth of the field, offering insights into the cultural significance and enduring appeal of Disney.
