Reviews

Jenkins hones in on the wonder of Disney animation, showing how the Disney world begins in and prolongs tiny innervations - a tickle, a tingle, a spark, a feeling of life - into a multimedia consumer empire. Special Affects provides a truly compelling and persuasive history of the micro-dreams at the heart of a global enterprise. -- Thomas Lamarre, McGill University


Author Information

Eric S. Jenkins (Ph.D. University of Georgia) grew up in the suburbs in Dallas, Texas, developing a distaste for consumerism and a simultaneously love for all things media like videogames and movies. Subsequently, he studies the interconnection between media and consumerism, with an emphasis on the modes of mediated consumption and their affective capacities. Disney animation was both a first love (of media) and a first hate (of consumerism).
