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 \u003ci\u003eDisney fantasy\u003c\/i\u003e 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\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003enostalgia in crisis. The study ends with a reading of George Lucas as latter-day Disney and \u003ci\u003eStar Wars \u003c\/i\u003eas \u003ci\u003eDisney fantasy\u003c\/i\u003e. This study should appeal to film and media studies college undergraduates, graduates students and scholars interested in Disney.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Zornado\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3319626760\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319626765\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/02\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.63d","brand":"Joseph Zornado","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48089097240831,"sku":"9783319626765","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6d29dc7c-e7d4-4508-8dc1-591c18acd087.jpg?v=1769108175","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/disney-and-the-dialectic-of-joseph-zornado-9783319626765","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
