Much has
been written about Disney’s stereotypical representations of gender, race,
sexuality, and ethnicity. Here, we are
interested in exploring how Disney portrays authority and social order in its
animated feature length theatrical films.
We welcome
chapters exploring these questions from a broader scope, as well as in-depth
examinations of particular films.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
- Social Order and Authority in a single Disney Era
- Comparison of Social Order and Authority in different eras
- Analysis of one subgenre (i.e. princess films)
- Analysis of manifestations of social order in soundtracks, either over the course of one film or an entire subgenre.
