Entre aparências e contrastes : imaginário do masculino nas animações Disney

Abstract

The feature animations are an extremely fertile field of cinema, powerful imaginary technology, allowing the understanding of diverse representations arising from an equally rich and complex sociological imaginary. From a symbolic perspective, in which the image is the link between men that makes possible the reading of social types in the imaginary, this work proposes to analyze and understand different manifestations of masculine in the animations of the Walt Disney Studios. To that end, understanding sociology will be allied with bibliographical research, in which encompasses multiple perspectives on the masculine gender, enabling the elaboration of instruments capable of assisting the recognition of the formative form (stylistic research). Allied to this methodology is the technique of contrasted pictures of the imaginary, which allows the reading of social forms and types, through a binary field of opposition, which, in this work, will be realized by the comparison between protagonist and antagonist characters, the animations Peter Pan (1953) and Wrecking Ralph (2012).
