| Summary: | This study maps violence, seen through the prism of gender, in the animated feature films produced by Disney Studios between 1937 and 1989. Violence, whether exposure to it or its use to defend oneself or others, turns out to be a major marker in the representation of Disney’s male and female characters. Women who use violence are almost systematically ranged on the side of evil. Tyrannical, ridiculous or both at once, female villains are depicted as poor in their ability to manage power. However, their number and narrative importance help to elucidate the mechanisms implemented by the dominant gender to caricature the rebellious aspirations of the gender that is dominated. |
