When Hannah and Marcelle go to Disneyland, you can pretty much bank on them returning happier, out some cash, and deep in the throes of processing the experience! So what better return to the pod than an episode about Pixar and Henry Jenkins' theory of affective economics.
Tune in for a conversation, led by Hannah, about CGI, John Lasseter, the impact of Pixar's first CGI feature Toy Story (1999), the fantasy of living outside of capitalism, and what Jenkins' theory of affective economics (Convergence Culture, 2006) can do to help us make sense of it all!
