AlbakiReads Editorial A cultural-studies examination of Disney film
A cultural-studies examination of Disney film
Edited by Elizabeth Bell, this interdisciplinary essay collection examines Disney cinema as both a body of popular films and a major cultural industry. Its contributors place children’s classics alongside Disney productions aimed at adult audiences, using feminist, Marxist, poststructuralist, and cultural-studies frameworks. The essays consider how films construct and circulate ideas about gender, race, class, science, nature, technology, family, and business. Across its multiple scholarly voices, the volume treats Disney’s screen legacy as a site where American cultural identity and commercial production intersect.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Students and scholars of film and media studies
- Readers interested in feminist, Marxist, and cultural-studies approaches to popular culture
- Those examining representations of gender, race, and class in Disney films

From Mouse to Mermaid, an interdisciplinary collection of original essays, is the first comprehensive, critical treatment of Disney cinema. Addressing children's classics as well as the Disney affiliates' more recent attempts to capture adult audiences, the contributors respond to the Disney film legacy from feminist, marxist, poststructuralist, and cultural studies perspectives. The volume contemplates Disney's duality as an American icon and as an industry of cultural production, created in and through fifty years of filmmaking. The contributors treat a range of topics at issue in contemporary cultural studies: the performance of gender, race, and class; the engendered images of science, nature, technology, family, and business. The compilation of voices in From Mouse to Mermaid creates a persuasive cultural critique of Disney's ideology.
The contributors are Bryan Attebery, Elizabeth Bell, Claudia Card, Chris Cuomo, Ramona Fernandez, Henry A. Giroux, Robert Haas, Lynda Haas, Susan Jeffords, N. Soyini Madison, Susan Miller, Patrick Murphy, David Payne, Greg Rode, Laura Sells, and Jack Zipes.
