애니메이션에 나타난 여성 인물의 괴물성 연구 = A Study of the Animated Female Character’s Monstrosity

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to discuss the female character’s monstrosity in animation. Unlike live action movies, animation expresses character by visual reconstruction and demonstrates the values or theme directly. Most female characters are portrayed as ‘the other’ on the screen and are portrayed in a role of passive beautiful sacrifice conforming to patriarchal desire. By comparison, the monstrous femininity expressed in a horrible monster appears the form of an assailant by showing a monstrous body and threatening males with her power.
In The Night Before Christmas and, Corpse Bride, both directed by Tim Burton, and Shrek, Monster vs. Alien from Dreamworks Studio, female characters are shown in monstrous feminine form by the transformation of their bodies. The body of the female character is either described with many cutting fragments or by having an ugly appearance. This is not the beautiful body that males want to see, but a way of expressing her desire through her grotesque body. Moreover, female characters have many desires and Deleuze describes these as being like a ‘Desiring Machine’, because the plurality of their desires can produce various meanings and, since the desires become a ‘Body Without Organs’, it follows that each desire distributes the power.
The female characters from Tim Burton and Dreamworks, portrayed through animations’, express feminine desire at the boundary of female and monster. Nevertheless, there is a critical point where the desire of the female character are still subordinated to patriarchal society. However, it is meaningful that the possibility of a diverse type of female character is shown by the acknowledgment of this boundary.
