Description de l'ouvrage :
Contemporary Disney Animation: Genre, Gender and Hollywood is the first in-depth study of Disney’s latest animated output from the perspective of genre theory. Analysing a decade in Disney’s history (2008-2018), Benhamou examines the multifaceted interactions between animated films, Disney properties such as Pixar and Marvel, and popular genres including the romantic comedy, the superhero film and the cop buddy film.
Through this extensive critical lens, combined with a focus on gender, she provides illuminating and original insights on films such as Tangled, Frozen and Moana. Informed by wider discourses on contemporary Hollywood and post-feminism, this book challenges conventional approaches to Disney, and foregrounds the importance of animation in understandings of film genres.

À propos de l'auteur :
Dr Eve Benhamou is a teaching fellow in Film Studies at the University Paul-Valéry Montpellier 3, France. Prior to this, she lectured at the Bristol School of Animation and Swansea University (UK). She has published several journal articles on Disney, Hollywood cinema and gender in film.

Revue de Presse :
Benhamou’s book offers a thorough and much needed critical exploration of contemporary animation from Disney and its competitors. Drawing on a multidisciplinary framework from genre to post-feminism through an animation studies lens, Benhamou offers the reader a well-considered, and very well written account of some of the key debates in screen studies.
