Abstract

Disney movies have long fascinated audiences with their fantastical narratives, lively characters, and imaginative landscapes. However, the representation of women in Disney movies was always through a patriarchal lens. This research investigates the portrayal of women characters in contemporary Disney movies Moana (2016) and Mulan (2020) and analyses how they differ from the traditional portrayal of women in Disney movies using the theoretical framework of postmodern feminism and patriarchy. The paper analyses how travel empowers these women and what significant changes it brings about in the development of their characters. The paper also explores the psyche of these women characters and how their journey inspires young adults, especially today’s women. The paper serves as a lens into society and the influence of media and other popular culture in the perceptions formed about women and how they are supposed to be.
迪士尼电影中的女性历程及其对塑造社会观念的影响
长期以来,迪斯尼电影一直以其奇幻的叙事、生动的人物和充满想象力的景观吸引着观众。然而,迪斯尼电影中的女性形象总是以父权制为视角。本研究调查了当代迪斯尼电影《莫阿娜》(Moana,2016 年)和《花木兰》(Mulan,2020 年)中的女性角色形象,并以后现代女性主义和父权制为理论框架,分析了它们与迪斯尼电影中的传统女性形象有何不同。论文分析了旅行如何赋予这些女性权力,以及旅行给她们的角色发展带来了哪些重大变化。本文还探讨了这些女性角色的心理,以及她们的旅程如何启发了年轻人,尤其是当代女性。本文是一个透镜,透视了社会以及媒体和其他流行文化对女性形成的观念和她们应该如何的影响。
