Titel 5 Company Profile: Disney

Primary focus:

Examining the company 'the Walt Disney Company' (Disney) through a 'company profile', where we look at the political & cultural aspects, financial circumstances, and evolving characteristics of Disney produced movies.

During this topic we have examined the evolution of the Disney from its very beginning, connecting the ideas behind 'Disney World' to the values and ideologies of our previously discussed topic "The American Dream and Patriotism". Here we also examined the traits of 'Classic Disney' with focus on their first ever feature film: Snow White, 1937.

We have examined the financial aspects of Disney as a company - This included an insight into their marketing strategies, big financial descisions and how it might reflect contemporary artistic descisions 'on screen'.

In contrast to 'Classic Disney', we have examined how contemporary Disney movies take a different stance on topics of feminism, inclusiveness and body ideals, where the movie 'Moana'/'Vaiana' was our main point of analysis.

Furthermore, this topic included an assignment with focus on the genre analytical essay - non-fiction: Here we analyzed the way in which argumentation was used in the article "Disney Princesses do change girls - and boys, too" by KJ Dell'Antonia.

Titel 7 Animal Farm (Værklæsning)

We read the novel “Animal Farm” By George Orwell.

The goal of this topic was to gain knowledge about the author George Orwell and his writing style. We examined the novel as an example of allegory and attempted to draw parallels to contemporary and modern events and discussions.

Furthermore, both analytical tools of fiction and non-fiction was used in order to examine the novel’s characters, setting and use of rhetoric, argumentation, fake news and propaganda.
