Abstract

Ovaj diplomski rad proučava prikaz ženskih likova u filmovima znanstvene fantastike. Cilj ovoga rada je pokazati na koji način su prikazane žene u filmovima znanstveno-fantastične tematike, tj. cilj je ustvrditi postoje li rodni stereotipi u tim filmovima te, ako postoje, utvrditi jesu li se mijenjali s vremenom. Zadaća istraživanja je analizirati prikaze ženskih likova u izabranim znanstveno fantastičnim filmovima. Glavno istraživačko pitanje je – na koji su način ženski likovi portretirani u znanstveno-fantastičnim filmovima američke, britanske, talijanske i francuske produkcije u razdoblju od 1935. do 2016. godine. Istraživanje je bazirano na analizi deset odabranih filmova. U radu je korištena metoda analize narativa kojom se nastoji opisati kako su ženski likovi prikazani u odabranim filmovima te postoji li promjena zavisna o vremenu produkcije filma. Tijekom istraživanja ispostavilo se da su u filmovima znanstvene fantastike mahom zastupljene mlade, lijepe te bijele žene. Ipak, ispostavilo se da su ženski likovi u filmovima ove tematike napredovali, pa tako više nisu poslušan i lijep objekt i žrtva koju treba spasiti od strane muškog lika, već se počinju brinuti za sebe, postaju obrazovane i samostalne. Međutim, muški lik je taj koji još uvijek vlada. Naime, ženski likovi su i dalje bespomoćni čak i kada su nezavisni i dominantni te uvijek trebaju biti spašene od strane muškog lika. Također, ženski likovi u muškom liku traže i utjehu, jer nemaju prijateljica kojima bi se povjerile. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da su sve promijene dogodile, no i dalje je trnovit put do jednakog prikazivanja muških i ženskih likova u znanstvenoj fantastici

Abstract (english)

This thesis discusses the representation of female characters in science fiction films. Purpose of this paper is to show how women are shown in science fiction films, ie the goal is to state whether gender stereotypes exist in these films and to see whether they have changed over time. The task of the research is to analyze the representation of female characters in selected science fiction films. The main research question is - How are female characters portrayed in science fiction films of American, British, Italian and French productions from 1935 to 2016? The research is based on the analysis of ten films of American, British, French and Italian production in period from 1935 to 2016. By using the narrative analysis method I wanted to find out how are female characters portrayed in such films and weather there was any change. During the research, it turned out that young, beautiful and white female characters are mostly represented in science fiction films. However, it turned out that female characters in the movies of this subject have progressed, so they are no longer obedient nice objects and victims to be rescued by a male figure, but they are beginning to take care of themselves, become educated and self-sufficient. Still, the male figure is the one who still rules. Namely because female characters are still portrayed as helpless and in need of male figure rescue even when they are independent and dominant. By analyzing the result I came to the conclusion that changes have taken place in this area, but it is still a thorny path for equal representation of male and female character in science fiction films.
