A diversidade e a paródia do gênero nos filmes shrek: 2001 a 2010

Abstract

This research includes a study of the ruptures and continuities on representations of the feminine and masculine identities and gender in contemporary animation film by following Shrek movies. To use both feminist and gender in order to demonstrate how identities are constructed, still showing theories of post-gender by Judith Butler's concept of performance studies. It also made the study of cinema as a technology of gender and place of manifestation of power relations. On a tour through the history of animation, we want to show how gender relations and constructions of female and male have changed over time in line with social changes. To analyze the sources we choose some themes as: female, male, body and beauty in contemporary society, the family and the marital relationship, and the diversity of gender identities, as well as behavioral phenomena characteristic of postmodernity in the definitions of Stuart Hall. The methodology used is the literature review, discourse analysis, based on the reflections of Michel Foucault, the production of meaning in daily life, and the relationship between historiography, cinema and gender. The concept of social representation used in the work of the prospect of Denise Jodelet. And the assumptions that underlie the concept of gender are approached by Teresa de Lauretis. From the use of these theories and methodologies understand that these media are forming powerful social representations of gender and subjectivity. We realized that the chosen sources are filled with social constructs that operate in the constitution of subjects and are important pedagogy instruments.
