The wraps are in near fine condition (slight curling of upper righthand corner). 9 x 6, 223 pages, 14 ounces XX [From the back cover] In the early 1980s, Walt Disney Productions was struggling, largely bolstered by the success of its theme parks. Within fifteen years, however, it was one of the most powerful entertainment conglomerates in the world. Drawing from archival research, interviews, and textual analysis, Peter C. Kunze examines how the hiring of theatrically trained talent into managerial and production positions reorganized the lagging animation division and revitalized its output. By Aladdin, it was clear that animation - not live-action - was the center of a veritable renaissance at Disney and the animated musicals driving this revival laid the groundwork for the company's growth into Broadway theatrical production. The Disney Renaissance not only reinvigorated the Walt Disney Company, but both reflected and influenced changes in Broadway and Hollywood more broadly. XX "Peter Kunze's STAGING A COMEBACK brings a fresh perspective to the Disney 'renaissance' of the 1980s and 90s. He examines these films' historical connection to the theatricality, anthropomorphic performance, and mediated liveness of classic animation. The book is also noteworthy for the author's innovative research methods, in light of the studio's reluctance to open up to independent scholarship. Kunze shows that if you can't enter the castle over the moat, you can storm it by way of the ramparts (DONALD CRAFTON, AUTHOR OF SHADOW OF A MOUSE: PERFORMANCE, BELIEF, AND WORLD-MAKING IN ANIMATION). XX STAGING A COMEBACK tells a fascinating, complex story of corporate ambition, artistic vision, and theatrical collaboration. Kunze brilliantly reveals how the interdependence of theatre and animation, New York City and theme parks, Hollywood producers and Broadway musical theatre artists enabled Disney's breathtaking success (STACY WOLF, AUTHOR OF BEYOND BROADWAY: THE PLEASURE AND PROMISE OF MUSICAL THEATRE ACROSS AMERICA). XX Peter C. Kunze is an assistant professor of communication at Tulane University. He is editor or coeditor of several books, including The Films of Wes Anderson: Critical Essays on an Indiewood Icon, American-Australian Cinema: Transnational Connections, and Taking a Stand: Contemporary US Stand-Up Comedians as Public Intellectuals.…

Not a library book or remainder. The wraps are in fine condition. 9 x 6, 284 pages, 15 ounces XX [From the back cover] A comprehensive study of comedy as social discourse and how comedians influence public opinion XX Taking a Stand makes a valuable addition to many disciplines, from media studies to gender studies to communication to sociology, not just for the wide breadth of its topics and analysis, but also for the considerable skill with which each chapter is crafted (TED GOURNELOS, author of Popular Culture and the Future of Politics: Cultural Studies and the Tao of South Park). XX Taking a Stand: Contemporary US Stand-Up Comedians as Public Intellectuals draws together essays that contribute to the analysis of the stand-up comedian as public intellectual since the 1980s. The chapters explore stand-up comedians as contributors to and shapers of public discourse via their live performances, podcasts, social media presence, and political activism. Each chapter highlights a stand-up comedian and their ongoing discussion of a cultural issue or expression of a political ideology/standpoint: Lisa Lampanelli's use of problematic postracial humor, Aziz Ansari's merging of sociology and technology, or Maria Bamford's emphasis on mental health, to name just a few. Comedians influence discourse, perspectives, even public policy on myriad issues, and this book sets out to take those jokes seriously. XX JARED N.

Paperback. Condition: New. In the early 1980s, Walt Disney Productions was struggling, largely bolstered by the success of its theme parks. Within fifteen years, however, it had become one of the most powerful entertainment conglomerates in the world. Staging a Comeback: Broadway, Hollywood, and the Disney Renaissance argues that far from an executive feat, this impressive turnaround was accomplished in no small part by the storytellers recruited during this period.

Condition: New. Conversations with Maurice Sendak (Paperback or Softback).

Paperback. Condition: New. Maurice Sendak (1928-2012) stands out as one of the most respected, influential authors of the twentieth century. Though primarily known as a children's book writer and illustrator, he did not limit himself to these areas. He saw himself first and foremost as an artist. In this collection of interviews, Sendak presents himself as a writer, illustrator, set designer, and librettist. From his early work with Randall Jarrell and Ruth Krauss through his later work with Tony Kushner and Spike Jonze, Sendak worked as a collaborator with a passion for the arts.The interviews here, many of which are hard to find or previously unpublished, span from 1966 through 2011. They show not only Sendak's shifting artistic interests, but also changes in how he understood himself and his craft. What emerges is a portrait of an author and an artist who was alternately solemn and playful, congenial and irascible, sophisticated and populist. The man who showed millions of children and adults alike what's cooking in the night kitchen and where the wild things are, Sendak remains an American original who redefined the picture book and changed children's literature-and its readers-forever.…
