- Synopsis
- An exploration of the social significance of "Shrek" from a variety of theoretical perspectives, this book pursues two different yet intertwined objectives. The first is to present "Shrek" as pedagogical tool that could be usefully employed in a number of different disciplines. "Shrek" is approached from a political science angle, a sociological perspective, and applied to the tenets of evolutionary psychology. The second objective is concerned with outlining some of the ways in which "Shrek" is actively bound up with various aspects of social reality - such as capitalism, power relations, inequality, rule, and resistance. This book analyzes the green ogre and his companions in a way that is entertaining as well as informative.
