“Essa Barbie tem uma letra bonitinha” - masculinidades em animações dos Estúdios Disney

Abstract

Understanding that cinema and films are cultural artefacts, once we make circulate cultural pedagogies that atuam no sense of production, reproduction, maintenance or construction of new knowledge that, in turn, operates in the constitution of subjectivity, or objective of this study It was to understand and problematize the representations of masculinities in the animated films “O Rei Leão” and “Toy Story 3”, by the American producer Estúdios Disney. A post-structuralist perspective, Foucauldian studies, gender and masculinity studies, as well as cultural pedagogy studies, are formed in order to understand the varied educational processes that only allow the construction of two subjects and subjectivities that It does not happen formally, but in environments, spaces and times in which the process of constituting subjects is also given. Through the methodology of Fabric Ethnography, in which the films were attended for countless times, and we examined their cut-out dinners and their scenes reproduced in this present, we also varied graphic aspects, such as cores and drawings of the drawings; narrative elements, such as voice tom, dialogues and facial expressions; bem as physical and psychological characteristics of the composition of two characters, formed in a way to provide the analysis of the constructions of the representation of masculinities and the relations of masculinity present in the animations. Masculinities, as well as all processes of construction, configurations and gender frameworks, are understood in this context, also, as educational processes, which are in constant movement. The present study is opportunized to reflect on how socially oiled fathers, how hegemonic masculinities, heteronormativity and heteroafetive families are activated as oiled and valued models in the films analyzed, representing fathers valued by the production company. Finally, reflecting on a possible crisis of masculinities in contemporary times, we suggest a concept of 'other masculinities' that seeks to break with hegemonic constructions, abolishing those advocated and valued throughout modernity.
