A presence for decades in individuals' everyday life practices and
identity formation, the Walt Disney Company has more recently also
become an influential element within the "big" curriculum of public
and private spaces outside of yet in proximity to formal
educational institutions. Disney, Culture, and Curriculum explores
the myriad ways that Disney's curricula and pedagogies manifest in
public consciousness, cultural discourses, and the education
system. Examining Disney's historical development and contemporary
manifestations, this book critiques and deconstructs its products
and perspectives while providing insight into Disney's operations
within popular culture and everyday life in the United States and
beyond. The contributors engage with Disney's curricula and
pedagogies in a variety of ways, through critical analysis of
Disney films, theme parks, and planned communities, how Disney has
been taught and resisted both in and beyond schools, ways in which
fans and consumers develop and negotiate their identities with
their engagement with Disney, and how race, class, gender,
sexuality, and consumerism are constructed through Disney content.
Incisive, comprehensive, and highly interdisciplinary, Disney,
Culture, and Curriculum extends the discussion of popular culture
as curriculum and pedagogy into new avenues by focusing on the
affective and ontological aspects of identity development as well
as the commodification of social and cultural identities,
experiences, and subjectivities.
