Description
The Disney Fetish by Seán J. Harrington Seán J. Harrington examines the Disney franchise through a psychoanalytical framework to explore the spirit of devotion, fandom, and frenzy that is instilled in consumers of Disney products. This study demystifies the unsettling cleanliness and pretensions to innocence that the Disney brand claims to hold. By analyzing the historical backdrop of studio history, audience reception, and the industrial-organizational apparatus of Disney media, Harrington sheds light on the complex relationships between the Disney classics and their impact on consumers. The result is a compelling exploration of the darker side of the Disney phenomenon. This book offers a fresh perspective on the Disney franchise, one that challenges common perceptions and invites readers to reconsider their relationship with this beloved brand.
