{"product_id":"9783319626765","title":"Disney and the Dialectic of Desire","description":"This book analyzes Walt Disney’s impact on entertainment, new media, and consumer culture in terms of a materialist, psychoanalytic approach to fantasy. The study opens with a taxonomy of narrative fantasy along with a discussion of fantasy as a key concept within psychoanalytic discourse. Zornado reads Disney’s full-length animated features of the “golden era” as symbolic responses to cultural and personal catastrophe, and presents Disneyland as a monument to Disney fantasy and one man’s singular, perverse desire. What follows after is a discussion of the “second golden age” of Disney and the rise of Pixar Animation as neoliberal nostalgia in crisis. The study ends with a reading of George Lucas as latter-day Disney and Star Wars as Disney fantasy. This study should appeal to film and media studies college undergraduates, graduates students and scholars interested in Disney.","brand":"Joseph Zornado","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47595828707646,"sku":"9783319626765","price":4648.7,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9783319626765.jpg?v=1707708050","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9783319626765","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
