Footnote #43 - Disney Princesses (with Robyn Muir)
Manage episode 404573399 series 2426554
Fresh from their discussion of Wish (Chris Buck & Fawn Veerasunthorn, 2023), Chris and Alex are once again joined by Dr Robyn Muir, Lecturer in Media and Communication (University of Surrey), author of The Disney Princess Phenomenon: A Feminist Analysis (2023), and founder and director of the Disney, Culture and Society Research Network to discuss the historical and cultural power of Disney princesses, a phenomenon that traverses films, merchandise, and several ancillary media. Topics for Footnote #43 include the industrial framing of Disney femininity and its politics of inclusion and exclusion; the stakes of merchandising certain female bodies; and how this top-down and highly lucrative phenomenon moves through multiple cultural spaces to fully support its enduring audience and economic appeal.
