Abstract

Ovaj diplomski rad istražuje stereotipiziran prikaz žena u bollywoodskim filmovima. Istraživanje se temelji na analizi deset suvremenih komercijalnih bollywoodskih filmova. Metodom analize narativa nastoji se utvrditi na koji način su žene iz patrijarhalnog društva Indije prikazane na filmu. Istraživanje je pokazalo da su junakinje portretirane tradicionalnim prikazom ženskosti, tj. u skladu s načelima patrijarhata, u području fizičkog izgleda, ljubavi i odnosu s obitelji. One su također prikazane kao seksualni objekti ljepote i žrtve nasilja. Napredak je vidljiv u tome što su ženski likovi prikazani kao obrazovani, odlučni i samostalniji. Može se izvesti zaključak da junakinje dobivaju sve veću važnost na filmskom platnu. Unatoč tome što im hinduistička tradicija uređuje život, žene imaju veće slobode na filmu. Vrlo su vrijedna istraživanja koja pokazuju razvoj ženskog lika na filmu jer se njima ukazuje na nemilosrdnu negativnu reprezentaciju žena kojoj konačno treba stati na kraj.

Abstract (english)

This thesis discusses the stereotyped representation of women in Bollywood movies. The study is based on an analysis of ten commercial Bollywood films. I wanted to determine how the women in the patriarchal society of India are presented in movies, by using the analysis of narrative. The research has shown that the heroines are portrayed traditional, in harmony with the principles of patriarchy, in the area of physical appearance, love and respect to the family. They are also presented as sex objects of beauty and victims of violence. The progress is evident in the fact that the female characters are shown as educated, determined and more independent. It can be concluded that the heroines are gaining increasing importance on the big screen. Despite their Hindu traditional way of life, women have more freedom in the film. The studies that explore the development of the female characters in the film are very valuable because they show the cruel negative representation of women which finally needs to disappear.
