Download or read book Navigating Media Literacy written by Vanessa E. Greenwood and published by Myers Education Press. This book was released on 2020-09-10 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Navigating Media Literacy: A Pedagogical Tour of Disneyland is an education playbook applied to the vast mediated universe of Disney. Readers of all ages can critically apply media literacy principles while still conscientiously participating as consumer-citizens, media creators, and agents of change. Media literacy is defined throughout this book as an instructional method rather than a political movement. The book counterbalances the frequently myopic critiques of cultural scholars and the critical exemption granted by those across the world who find Disney to be a source of great pleasure. Integrated theory and practical examples allow readers to investigate of themselves and draw their own conclusions based on real inquisitive, observatory, and creative experiences that constitute media literacy (access, analyze, evaluate, create, reflect and act). Each chapter is ideologically mapped to an actual physical realm of Disneyland (e.g., Main Street, USA; Adventureland; Tomorrowland; Frontierland; Fantasyland). Each site provides a pedagogical playground for experimenting with each media literacy concept (e.g., context, audience, language, ownership, representation). The reader will come away with a deeper pedagogical understanding of how to cultivate media literacy using any context or subject—not just Disney. Each chapter includes discursive excerpts from students, along with assignments, discussion prompts, and classroom exercises, making it a valuable resource as a classroom textbook. Perfect for courses such as: Media Literacy | Communication and Media Arts | Film Studies | Media History | Transmedia Studies | Business | Marketing
Download or read book Disney Culture and Curriculum written by Jennifer A. Sandlin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-10 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A presence for decades in individuals’ everyday life practices and identity formation, the Walt Disney Company has more recently also become an influential element within the "big" curriculum of public and private spaces outside of yet in proximity to formal educational institutions. Disney, Culture, and Curriculum explores the myriad ways that Disney’s curricula and pedagogies manifest in public consciousness, cultural discourses, and the education system. Examining Disney’s historical development and contemporary manifestations, this book critiques and deconstructs its products and perspectives while providing insight into Disney’s operations within popular culture and everyday life in the United States and beyond. The contributors engage with Disney’s curricula and pedagogies in a variety of ways, through critical analysis of Disney films, theme parks, and planned communities, how Disney has been taught and resisted both in and beyond schools, ways in which fans and consumers develop and negotiate their identities with their engagement with Disney, and how race, class, gender, sexuality, and consumerism are constructed through Disney content. Incisive, comprehensive, and highly interdisciplinary, Disney, Culture, and Curriculum extends the discussion of popular culture as curriculum and pedagogy into new avenues by focusing on the affective and ontological aspects of identity development as well as the commodification of social and cultural identities, experiences, and subjectivities.
Download or read book Teaching with Disney written by Daniel Morris and published by Theme Park Press. This book was released on 2019 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mickey in the Middle Kingdom A little-known enclave of the Disney empire is its Disney English learning centers scattered throughout China. The teachers at these centers use Disney characters and "culture" to instruct rambunctious Chinese kids in the basics of the English language. Dream job, right? Well... When Daniel Morris flew into Shanghai for the start of his new career with Disney English, he nearly boarded another plane straight back home. Morris picks up this most unlikely cast member memoir with his decision to stay and his arrival at a Disney-sanctiond hotel, the first of many culture shocks to come. At the Disney English center in Shanghai, where Morris worked as a "foreign trainer," he soon had his hands full with misbehaving kids, eccentric parents, office politics, and a roller-coaster ride up the corporate ladder. There are no attractions, no shows, and the pixie dust is infrequent, but Disney English has its own quirky sort of magic, and with Morris as your guide, you'll get the first-ever insider's look at this far-flung Disney enterprise.
