The Bradley Show: Episode 6. Disney and the Politics of Work (VIDEO DIARY #2)

In this episode of The Bradley Show, Bradley talks about Disney films such as Mary Poppins, Song of the South, Snow White, Fantasia, Sword in the Stone and The Jungle Book and uses this to discuss the politics of work, especially the rise of what Boltanski and Chiapello call the new spirit of capitalism.

Part of a new video diary series, Bradley draws upon very old essays such as the Just a Spoonful of Sugar! The Dialects of Work and Play in Walt Disney’s Mary Poppins (2011) and Who Framed Br’er Rabbit? Racial Politics in Walt Disney’s Song of the South and Ralph Bakshi’s Coonskin (2013) and reopens the exploration of what Disney films are actually about.
