"With great power comes great responsibility" : En studie av teknik och biologi i superhjältefilmerHjelm, Niklas, Karlsson, Tobias January 2009 (has links)
<p>Vår tids syn på teknik ser vi tydliga spår av i dagens filmer, och kanske framförallt superhjältefilmer. Där använder sig både hjältar och skurkar av avancerad teknik i sin kamp mot varandra. Men även synen på biologi avspeglas i dessa filmer, och det mest intressanta är när dessa ställs mot varandra. Vi har jämfört två av vår tids största hjältar, en som använder sig av teknik och en som har biologiska krafter, för att se vilka likheter och skillnader som finns. Hjältarna det rör sig om är Spider-Man och Batman.</p>

Sexobjekt, förebild eller båda? : En komparativ semiotisk analys av den kvinnliga huvudkaraktären i två Spider-man filmer / Sex object, role model or both? : A comparative semiotic analysis of the main female character in two Spider-man moviesJönsson, Elin January 2022 (has links)
Denna uppsats har undersökt hur de kvinnliga huvudkaraktärerna i två Spider-man filmer framställs och om det finns några skillnader utifrån ett könsstereotypiskt perspektiv. Frågeställningen som har undersökts är: Hur skiljer sig framställningen av den kvinnliga huvudkaraktären i Spider-man från Spider-man: Far from home, utifrån ett könsstereotypiskt perspektiv? För att ta reda på detta har en komparativ semiotisk analys gjorts på fyra scener från vardera film där olika tecken analyserats utifrån konnotation och denotation. Materialet är filmerna Spider-man från 2002 med Mary Jane Watson som den kvinnliga huvudkaraktären, och Spider-man: Far From Home från 2019 med Michelle Jones som den kvinnliga huvudkaraktären. Teorin som används är forskningar kring stereotyper, representation, genus, könsroller och den manliga blicken. Analysen och resultatet visar att det finns skillnader i det sätt som Mary Jane respektive Michelle Jones framställs på utifrån ett könsstereotypiskt perspektiv.Dessa skillnader kan ses både i de visuella elementen som klädsel, det kompositionella och kamerans utsnitt men också i handlingarna och narrativet. Mary Jane har främst en roll som kärleksintresse där hennes utseende har mycket fokus medan Michelle är mer självständig och sin egna person där hon är en del av narrativet. / This paper has examined how the female main characters in two Spider-Man films are portrayed and whether there are any differences from a gender stereotypical perspective. The question examined is: How does the portrayal of the female main character in Spider-man differ from Spider-man: Far from home, from a gender stereotypical perspective? To examine this, a comparative semiotic analysis has been done on four scenes from each film where different signs have been analyzed based on connotation and denotation. The material consists of the films Spider-man from 2002 with Mary Jane Watson as the female main character, and Spider-man: Far From Home from 2019 with Michelle Jones as the female main character. The theory used is research on stereotypes, representation, gender, and the male gaze. The analysis and the results show that there are differences in the way Mary Jane and Michelle Jones are presented from a gender stereotypical perspective. These differences can be seen both in the visual elements such as the clothes, the compositions and the camera's placement, but also in the characters’ actions and the narrative. Mary Jane's role is mainly as a love interest where her appearance has the main focus while the character of Michelle is portrayed as more independent and her own person that has a larger part in the narrative of the film.

The American Way: What Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, and the X-Men Reveal About AmericaDarowski, Joseph J. 25 July 2006 (has links) (PDF)
Comic book superheroes have become adopted into American popular culture, and yet few have considered why these characters resonate with Americans. The first comic book superhero premiered in 1938 when Superman appeared on the cover of the first issue of Action Comics. For almost seventy years his adventures and the adventures of other costumed heroes have been continually published. Batman soon joined Superman as a popular costumed crime-fighter, and the early 1960s saw another generation of superheroes created that would be embraced in American culture. Among this new group of heroes were Spider-Man and the X-Men, who have proved as popular as Superman and Batman. The never-ending narratives of comic book characters provide a unique opportunity to analyze how superheroes have evolved across the decades to remain relevant for new generations of Americans. Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, and the X-Men are the most popular heroes, not only in comic books, but in other media adaptations. An exploration of why these specific characters have such resonance with Americans will provide insights into American mindsets, ideologies, and philosophies. Furthermore, comic books are uniquely positioned to allow a new historicist reading, as the characters' adventures have been published on a monthly schedule for decades. A consideration of the alterations made in the narratives to reflect the time periods is inherently enlightening.

"Power To the People" : le déclin de la figure du superhéros dans les films américains après 2001 / « Power to the People » : The decline of the Superhero Icon in American Films since 9/11Ducreux, Jean-Guy 26 October 2013 (has links)
L'objectif de cette thèse est de montrer le déclin de la figure du superhéros dans les films américains après le 11 Septembre. Les films de superhéros n?ont jamais été si nombreux. Jamais le moral du superhéros n'a été si bas. Ce paradoxe trouve sa meilleure illustration dans l'image double de Batman relégué au ras du sol, alors que le symbole commercial de la chauve-souris brille au firmament de Gotham City. La marchandise culturelle transcenderait donc un superhéros considérablement amoindri. Ce travail se concentre sur trois domaines en particulier : la perte de masculinité du superhéros à la fin du siècle dernier, qui amène à une confrontation symbolique entre le quarterback et la majorette, ou entre Superman et un hypothétique Everyman, et la réémergence d'un monomythe réactionnaire après 2005 ; les errances d'un Surmoi freudien affaibli, et sa relation fluctuante avec un Ça très séduisant, incarné par le superméchant du vingt-et-unième siècle ; la toile de fond sociopolitique contemporaine hostile aux exploits du superhéros, pour qui l'isothymie fukuyamienne omniprésente constitue une injuste condamnation de son action salvatrice. Icône d'une démocratie libérale qui règne désormais sur notre planète, le superhéros postmoderne semble singulièrement désadapté à la culture qui l'a vu naître. / The main topic of this doctoral thesis is the study of the decline of the superhero icon in American films after 9/11. Superhero productions are at an all-time high, and yet, the superhero's morale is at an all-time low. This paradox is best illustrated with the dual image of Batman stuck at Ground Zero, staring up at the projection of his chevron looming large in the sky of Gotham City. The glowing merchandise transcends an otherwise sullied character. This dissertation focuses on three main realms: the superhero's loss of masculinity at the end of the twentieth century, leading to the formal opposition between the figures of the quarterback and the cheerleader, or between Superman and Everyman, and the reactionary, warpath revival which started in 2005; the travails of the flailing Superego and its shifting relationship to the almighty Id, represented by the twenty-first century glorified supervillain; and, finally, the inimical sociopolitical backdrop for the superhero's prowess, in which Fukuyama's prevalent isothymia eventually denies the superhero his just laurels. The postmodern superhero thus appears as a national misfit, also because this cultural commodity now reaches far beyond the traditional boundaries of the « American Way », to embrace an increasingly globalized market.

An interrogation of morality, power and plurality as evidenced in superhero comic books: a postmodernist perspectiveHerman, Janique Luschan Vogl January 2013 (has links)
The desire for heroes is a global and cultural phenomenon that gives a view into society’s very heart. There is no better example of this truism than that of the superhero. Typically, Superheroes, with their affiliation to values and morality, and the notion of the grand narratives, should not fit well into postmodernist theory. However, at the very core of the superhero narrative is the ideal of an individual creating his/her own form of morality, and thus dispensing justice as the individual sees fit in resistance to metanarrative’s authoritarian and restrictive paradigms. This research will explore Superhero comic books, films, videogames and the characters Superman, Spider-Man and Batman through the postmodernist conceptions of power, plurality, and morality.
