Poster like it’s 1999 : Framställningar av huvudpersoner i filmaffischer från 1999. / Poster like it’s 1999 : Depiction of protagonists in movie posters from 1999.Frosteryd, Victor January 2019 (has links)
The purpose of the thesis is to investigate how movie posters from 1999 portray the film's main characters. I will also investigate the design of the works and find out how effective the poster was for the audience at the cinema. The analysis describes and analyzes movie posters from American films. Four questions were asked to help the essay in reaching its purpose. How are the posters designed? How is the protagonist identified through visual elements in the posters? Is there a recurring theme in how the key art is presented? How effective is the poster for the audience at the cinema? By answering these questions, I intend to gain a greater understanding of the art of film and to contribute to the science of film and marketing.

Hjältar och hjältinnor : en strukturalistisk genusstudie av ryska folksagor baserad på Vladimir Propps funktionsmodell / Герои и героини : гендерное структурное исследование народных русских сказок, основанное на функциональной модели В. Я. ПроппаWotinseva, Janna January 2016 (has links)
This thesis investigates the correlation between narrative structure and gender of the central character in Russian folktales. The study is based on Vladimir Propp’s theory of functions, which is applied to a sample of ten wonder tales from Aleksandr Afanas’ev’s collection of folktales. The purpose of the study is to determine if there are any gender distinctions in the arrangement and manifestation of functions in the selected tales.The findings suggest that the narrative structure of Russian folktales differs depending on the gender of the tale’s protagonist. Structural features such as the acts of interdiction and violation are found to be characteristic of tales with female protagonists, while the structure of tales with male protagonists is distinguished by a greater extent of activity. The conclusion is that Russian folktales appear to reflect gender stereotypes on a structural level, especially the preconceived notion that obedience and passivity are female traits. / Предметом исследования данной дипломной работы является взаимосвязь между нарративной структурой десяти народных русских сказок и половой принадлежностью героев этих же сказок. В исследовании применена теория функций действующих лиц В. Я. Проппа на материале сказок из сборника А.Н. Афанасьева. Цель исследования: установить, показывает ли нарративная структура выбранных сказок половое различие относительно состава и манифестации функций действующих лиц.Результаты исследования указывают на то, что структура народных русских сказок варьируется в зависимости от половой принадлежности протагониста. Сказки, где главные герои женщины, характеризуются действиями запрета и его нарушения, тогда как сказки с протагонистами мужского пола отличаются большей степенью активности. Вывод предлагаемой работы заключается в том, что структурный уровень народных русских сказок отражает гендерные стереотипы, в особенности предвзятое мнение о том, что послушание и пассивность – черты характера, присущие женщинам.

L’héroïne d’action dans le jeu vidéo et ses représentations de personnages féminins : une figure et ses variationsThériault, Pascale 08 1900 (has links)
Ce mémoire se concentre sur la figure de l’héroïne d’action dans les jeux vidéo. La culture vidéoludique, qui glorifie la masculinité militarisée, tend à sexualiser les personnages féminins et à négliger les préférences des joueuses afin de cibler les hommes et les garçons. La figure de l’héroïne d’action naît du désir d’inclusion des femmes dans la culture du jeu vidéo. Ces protagonistes féminins, bien que souvent objectifiés comme le témoigne le célèbre personnage de Lara Croft, présentent tout de même un potentiel subversif en envahissant l’espace traditionnellement masculin. Ce mémoire analyse quelques protagonistes qui correspondent à la figure de l’héroïne et la remodèlent. / This master thesis focuses on the action heroine trope in video games. The video game culture, which glorifies militarized masculinity, tends to sexualize female characters and to neglect the preferences of female players by targeting men and boys. The action heroine trope is born from the desire to include women in the video game culture. These female protagonists are often sexualized, such as the famous Lara Croft, but they also have a subversive potential by invading a traditional masculine space. This master thesis analyzes a few characters that are modeled and reshaped on the action heroine trope.

The wild animal's story : nonhuman protagonists in twentieth-century Canadian literature through the lens of practical zoocriticismAllmark-Kent, Candice January 2015 (has links)
Despite the characteristic cross-disciplinarity of animal studies, interactions between literary and scientific researchers have been negligible. In response, this project develops a framework of practical zoocriticism, an interdisciplinary lens which synthesizes methodologies from science, animal advocacy, and literature. A primary focus of this model is the complex relationship between literary representations of animals, scientific studies of animal cognition, and practical and theoretical work advocating animal protection. This thesis proposes that the Canadian wild animal stories of Ernest Thompson Seton and Charles G.D. Roberts operate at an intersection of these three factors. Their potential for facilitating reciprocal communication has not been recognized, however, due to their damaged representation within Canadian literature as a consequence of the Nature Fakers controversy. By re-contextualizing and re-evaluating these texts this project illuminates the unique contributions made by these authors. It also offers new evidence of the intersecting discourses and ideologies that stimulated the controversy. Re-defining the genre has enabled this project to uncover a selection of twentieth-century Canadian texts that perpetuate its core aims and characteristics. This project suggests that after the Nature Fakers controversy, the wild animal story diverged into two new forms: ‘realistic’ and ‘speculative.’ By placing the wild animal story in relation to a broader canon of Canadian literature, this thesis identifies three distinct modes of animal representation. These methods of relating to literary animals in the Canadian context are the fantasy of knowing the animal, the failure of knowing the animal, and the acceptance of not-knowing the animal. This novel characterization of Canadian literature is a product of the diverse, interdisciplinary approaches offered by the practical zoocriticism framework.

DEN IDEALA COWBOYEN : En komparativ studie av maskuliniteten inom den amerikanska audiovisuella westerngenren på 1950-talet samt 2010-taletFalk Renström, Johannes January 2019 (has links)
Den hegemoniska maskuliniteten är försatt i ett stadie av konstant förändring och omförhandling. Saker som i en viss tidsepok kommit att associeras med femininitet kan vid en annan tidpunkt komma att tillskrivas som ett maskulint attribut. Då mannens relation till sig själv – och hans relation till sin omgivning – påverkas av den maskulina idealbild som förmedlas, i bland annat populärkulturellt material, blir det därför viktigt att undersöka hur denna hegemoniska maskulinitet yttrar sig i olika tidsepoker. Detta dels för att utröna varför den ser ut som den gör idag och hur den porträtterats historiskt, men även för att förutspå hur gestaltningen av maskulinitet kan komma att förändra sig i framtiden. Denna studie har utfört en komparation mellan westernfilmer som av diverse forskare och kritiker ses som typiska tidsenliga exempel på filmer inom westerngenren. Detta gjordes för att fastställa hur den historiska porträtteringen av den hegemoniska maskuliniteten skiljer sig från den i ett modernt populärkulturellt material inom samma genre. Detta gjordes genom att utföra en semiotisk bildanalys av protagonistens och antagonistens slut- samt introduktionsscen, därefter jämfördes de observationer som gjorts i analysen, varpå övergripande analyser gjordes, i vilken återkommande drag, behandlingen av minoriteter, kroppsattribut och miljöerna som dessa befann sig i och bebodde, diskuterades och sammanställdes. Kontentan av resultatet var att attribut som tidigare associerats med protagonister i materialet från 1950-talet numera utgjordes av antagonisterna i materialet från 2010-talet. Den tidigare maskuliniteten som gestaltades av storväxthet och breda axlar har förändrats, och den hegemoniska maskuliniteten har nu gett upphov till en man med mer komplexa motivationer, större känsloliv och hänsynsfullhet än den som skänktes av protagonisten i dom tidigare gestaltningarna. Genom att uppnå sina målsättningar kunde även protagonisterna i materialen från båda tidsperioderna dölja att dessa antagit attribut som tidigare varit kvinnligt kodade i den nya maskulina idealbilden, exempelvis fällandet av tårar.

O protagonista nas laranjas mecânicas : um tchelovek bratchni ou um maltchik bizumni?Santos, Aline Peterson dos January 2016 (has links)
Esta dissertação discute os protagonistas do romance Laranja Mecânica, de Anthony Burgess, e dos filmes Laranja Mecânica e Vinyl, de Stanley Kubrick e Andy Warhol, respectivamente, comparando como tais personagens representam o indivíduo em sociedade. Para tanto, se apóia nas teorias de Joseph Campbell, Antonio Candido e Paulo Emílio Sales Gomes, sobre as personagens, e de Ítalo Calvino sobre a Leveza. São analisadas as três obras, para o entendimento das peculiaridades presentes em cada uma das narrativas, bem como a trajetória do protagonista nas três narrativas, até que estas atinjam o desfecho. Os conceitos de bem e de mal, mantidos sob concepções estabelecidas na nossa sociedade, são ameaçados quando o protagonista é submetido à Técnica Ludovico, tratamento que tem o objetivo de diminuir a quantidade de presos nas prisões e que, para isso, retira o poder de escolha do indivíduo, que passa a ser capaz de praticar somente atos de bondade, já que toda a exposição ao mal o leva à dor e ao incômodo insuportável. / This M.A. thesis discusses the protagonists in Burgess’ A Clockwork Orange and the films A Clockwork Orange and Vinyl, directed by Stanley Kubrick and Andy Warhol, respectively, comparing how such characters represent the individual in society. The thesis draws on the theories by Joseph Campbell, Antonio Candido, and Paulo Emílio Sales Gomes, concerning the characters, and by Italo Calvino, concerning Lightness. The three works are analyzed aiming at the understanding of the peculiarities present in each one of the narratives, as well as the trajectory of the protagonist in the three narratives, until they reach the end. The concepts of good and evil, maintained under conceptions established in our society, are threatened when the protagonist is subjected to the Ludovico Technique, treatment that has the objective of reducing the quantity of prisoners in jails. For that, it eliminates the power of choice of the individual, who happens to be able to practice acts of kindness only, since all exposure to evil brings him to pain and to unbearable discomfort.

Det klassiska berättandet i det moderna Sverige : En kvalitativ analys av den moderna svenskproducerade filmens användning av det klassiska berättandets dramaturgiDahne, Lovisa, Matthis, Alexi January 2016 (has links)
Syftet med denna vetenskapliga undersökning är att studera vilka element av det klassiska berättandets dramaturgi som går att finna i sex stycken olika svenskproducerade långa spelfilmer. Filmerna är uppdelade i två olika grupper, kritikerrosade och biosuccéer, dessa har valts ut med hjälp av statistik från Svenska Filminstitutet. Analysen fokuserar främst på två nyckelbegrepp, protagonisten och treaktsstrukturen, som båda definieras och sedan analyseras i vardera film. Efter analysen görs sedan jämförelser, både film mot film men även grupp mot grupp, för att besvara frågan om det finns skillnader mellan användandet av det klassiska berättandet i svenskproducerade kritikerrosade filmer och biosuccéer. Det bakomliggande syftet är att förstå hur denna konventionella berättarstruktur används i praktiken i Sverige. Undersökningen finner dock att skillnaderna mellan grupperna är mycket små och enbart en film kommer nära definitionen av det klassiska berättandet. Genomgående för filmerna är att de övriga inte har en tydlig protagonist eller huvudkonflikt, vilket i de flesta filmer resulterar i en otydlig treaktsstruktur. Detta pekar på att svenskproducerade lång spelfilmer verkar prioritera andra berättarstrukturer eller medel för att skapa intresse hos publiken.
