Abstract:

Mermaids are one of the most popular mythological creatures and are often discussed today. It's no wonder that nowadays, mermaids are featured in various media, including films. More interestingly, it turns out that each culture has a different interpretation of mermaids, especially their portrayal. This research explores the portrayal of mermaids in three cultural contexts depicted in the films Mermaid and Swordsman (China), The Little Mermaid Live Action (Denmark), and Mermaid in Love 2 Dunia (Indonesia). Using Hayward's (2018) theoretical framework, this analysis categorises these represent

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Guided by ecofeminist philosophy and fairy tale criticism, this article theorizes the metaphorical potency of mermaids via Alice Hoffman’s Aquamarine (2001). The novella narrativizes mermaids’ twined applicability to girlhood and the environment while resisting Disneyfied depictions of wish fulfillment. Although Hoffman actively distances her fishtailed water girl from Disney’s source, Hans Christian Andersen’s 1837 fairy tale, she recovers the little mermaid’s folkloric predecessors, the fairy Melusine and the water nymph Undine. Allusions to and divergences from this identifiable me

Animated films are one of the most popular children's literature, various themes and genres of animated films are certainly like friends for children. This study aims to analyze the comparison in an animated film and its adaptation work qualitatively and comparative in the overall exposure of the animated film The Little Mermaid (1989) and The Little Mermaid (2023) live-action produced by Disney with the musical-fantasy genre, where this study focuses on the transformation (alih wahana).

Abstract:

This article is part reflection on how academic disciplines can stymie creative scholarship and part critical effort to break out of that orientation to reclaim the author’s personal passion for mermaids as subject for scholarly analysis. Pressman argues that contemporary mermaid literature has much to tell us about our most pressing social, cultural, and political issues. This article takes as its starting point the racist backlash over Disney’s 2019 casting announcement for its 2023 feature film and the 2020 antiracist graffiti on The Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen as the complex site f

Abstract:

Disney animation represents a powerful source of economic and cultural production. However, following the death of Walt Disney, the animation division found itself struggling to survive. It was not until the 1989 release of the hugely successful animated film The Little Mermaid that Disney would reclaim its domination among children's cultural producers. Additionally, The Little Mermaid inaugurated a shift in Disney's portrayals of gender as the company replaced the docile passive princess characteristic of its previous animated films with a physically active and strong willed ambitious heroin

Synen på vad som utgör den så kallade starka kvinnliga karaktären har varit objekt för förändring, vilket kan synliggöras bland annat via filmmediet. Syftet med studien är att granska och jämföra två tecknade kvinnliga protagonister utifrån ett genusvetenskapligt perspektiv. Metoden för studien utgörs av två genusvetenskapliga modeller som kategoriserar manligt och kvinnligt beteende, samt semiotisk bildanalys. Materialet består av Disneys The Little Mermaid och Studio Ghiblis Kiki’s Delivery Service. Resultatet visade att karaktärerna uppvisar liknande personliga egenskaper, då de båda är vac

Abstract:

According to Lewis Seifert, “Fairy tales are obsessed with femininity … These narratives are concerned above all else with defining what makes women different from men and, more precisely, what is and is not acceptable feminine behaviour” (1996: 175). This study, then, will demonstrate how certain patriarchal ideas associated with fairy tales are disseminated when fairy tale elements are reworked in film, visual art and the novel. The aim of this project, more specifically, is to show how certain stereotypical representations of women endure in works that could be read as feminist appropriatio

The area of audiovisual translation indisputably awakens a growing interest amongst scholars. However, the study of the translation of songs in an audiovisual context (AVC) has not been thoroughly explored. The purpose of this research is to offer a descriptive analysis on the area of translating songs (from English into Spanish) in an AVC. In particular, the research focuses on the translation of the songs included in nine animated Disney films from the Disney Renaissance Period (1989-1999). The study assesses how non-linguistic elements such as rhyme, rhythm, images or lip synchrony affect t

Abstract:

The new sociology of childhood replaces the historical notion of children as inherently vulnerable, helpless and in need of protection, with a perception of children as capable of competent, autonomous, social participation. Although this new sociological perception underlies current children's rights literature, Canadian common law, and important Canadian pediatric health care guidelines, children's autonomy in health care contexts remains easily denied or subverted in favour of adult conceptions of their best interests. In order to try to understand why, I use a feminist, relational appro

Abstract:

This chapter takes its cue from the dominant presence of the mermaid trope in 21st-century media culture. It opens with a sampling of contemporary mermaid figurations, which are driven by the desire to break out of the Romantic paradigm as shaped by Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid and its various Disney adaptations. This paradigm is premised on a heteronormative love plot, with a rigid gender binary and a persistent emphasis on the superiority of humans over more-than-humans. In 21st-century adaptations, it is the other way around, but a mere reversal of a hierarchy does not suffi
