Parker Lopez and Stone's The Book of Mormon

Parker Lopez and Stone's The Book of Mormon

'Hasa Diga Eebowai' In 2011 a musical full of curse words and Mormon missionaries swept that year’s Tony Awards and was praised as a triumphant return of the American musical. This book explores the inherent achievements (and failures) of The Book of Mormon—one of the most ambitious and problematic musicals to achieve widespread success. The creative team members—Matt Parker Trey Stone and composer Robert Lopez—were collectively known for their aggressive use of taboo subjects and crude punchy humor. Using the metaphor of boxing Granger explores the metaphorical punches the trio delivers and ruminates over the less-discussed ideological wounds that their style of shock absurdism might leave behind. This careful examination of where The Book of Mormon succeeds and fails is sure to challenge discussion of our understanding of musical comedy and our appreciation for this cultural landmark in theatre. | Parker Lopez and Stone's The Book of Mormon

By privileging the real world experiences of those most influenced by rights the collection moves beyond the traditional polarizing debates and presents a constitutive approach to rights that is not reducible to a simple 'for or against' rights formula. While this complex consciousness approach often contributes to the reproduction of dominant-subordinate social relations it also allows for spaces of resisting existing hierarchical structures embedded in various law-related sites. | The New Civil Rights Research A Constitutive Approach

The Glocalization of Shanghai Disneyland

The Glocalization of Shanghai Disneyland

Focusing on Disney’s production of Shanghai Disneyland this book examines how the Chinese state and the local market influence Disney’s ownership and production of the identities and the representations of Shanghai Disneyland. Qualitative methods are here applied to combine both primary and secondary data including document analysis participant observation and in-depth interviews. Shanghai Disneyland is purposely created to be different from the other Disneylands under the “authentically Disney and distinctly Chinese” mandate. In order to survive and thrive in China Disney carefully constructs Shanghai Disneyland as Disneyland with Chinese characteristics. Previous studies tend to link Disney with cultural imperialism; however this book argues that it is not imperialism but glocalization that promotes a global company’s interests in China. In particular the findings suggest state-capital-led glocalization: glocalization led by economic capital of the state (direct investment) and economic capital with the state (market potential). Furthermore the four categories of glocalization with different conditions considerations and consequences illustrate various global–local dynamics in the process of a global formation of locality. The Glocalization of Shanghai Disneyland will appeal to students and scholars of sociology communication studies business studies and Asian studies more broadly.
