Quale frase sentite piugrave; spesso nel periodo natalizio: buon Natale? Sbagliato! La frase piugrave; ripetuta egrave;: ldquo;odio le feste; spero che passino in frettardquo;.Questo egrave; un volume che racconta lrsquo;altro Natale; quello di chi rifiuta lrsquo;idea di scegliere regali in negozi affollatissimi. Quello di chi deve mandare giugrave; roba insipida per assecondare le manie culinarie di una zia alla quale non si puograve; dire di no. Di chi egrave; cresciuto senza un genitore e col resto della famiglia a soffocarlo damore per non farne sentire lrsquo;assenza. Quello di chi Babbo Natale lo prenderebbe a calci e chissagrave; cosrsquo;altro...Sedici autori; sguinzagliati da noi tra deliri pre e post natalizi per mettere nero su bianco; una volta per sempre; il lato oscuro di Babbo Natale e di tutto quello che rappresenta in quellrsquo;orgia internazionale che egrave; il mese di dicembre. Unrsquo;orgia innanzitutto commerciale nella quale ci daremo da fare anche noi proprio con questo volume di storie dolci e spietate; malinconiche e divertenti. Un libro per chi; quellrsquo;inesorabile Natale; lo ama e lo festeggia; percheacute; chi lo detesta sa giagrave; tutto.Buon Natale!

I have used it numerous times for projects and meetings. Wonderful analysis of characters and character types from an educational and analytical standpoint. This author does not let bias get in the way. Highly recommended for anyone researching or interested in the feminine archetypes of Disney women!0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Melanie A. HowardA great and informative read!8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Great StartBy CustomerIts very easy to criticize Disneys portrayals of women over the years. In fact; they do not fit with the current cultural idea of a motivated; active; and very maternal woman. Others believe that Disney is so ingrained into our popular culture it should be immune from criticism.The tone of this book feels sympathetic to Disney more so than many essays about this topic. It considers many factors that contribute to the portrayals. But it is also not entirely apologetic for these images.The book is all by one person. Her sources are cited well within the page in a way that academics can easily understand and casual readers can easily ignore. The chapters are divided by time period.The worst thing I can say about the book is that there should have been more in some places and less in others. Chapter 2 is a brief history of animation. Im not entirely sure that the actions of other studios; especially ones that werent making movies; is relevant to the topic. In addition; the book only talks about human characters as they appeared as main characters in animated movies. There is no discussion about the portrayals of female animals in movies like "The Lion King" or "Robin Hood;" which I feel has a great diversity of female characters. I also feel that the lack of women in movies like "The Jungle Book" and "Winnie the Pooh" is worthy of discussion.
