Anti-Shrek
I’m going to this MIT colloquium next week… I wrote an anti-Shrek post once, will find the link and bring it here soon:
CMS COLLOQUIUM
“SHREK: THE ULTIMATE OTHER”
A talk by Pawel Jedrzejko
Thursday, December 4, 5pm in Room 2-105
This talk offers a close reading of the movie SHREK as a short deconstructive history of otherness in America. Examines the international poupularity of the film in light of its cultural tranlatability; the genesis from William Steig’s book SHREK to the movie; Shrek as a fairy tale about Beauty and Order.
