Abstract
The 1940s marked a turning point in how animation was perceived. As the decade was overshadowed by the horrors of World War II and its consequences, animation stopped being regarded as entertainment primarily for children. Animation strives to swiftly communicate ideas and stereotypes are a key element in achieving this goal. However, they can be detrimental as they reduce individuals or groups to a few traits and perpetuate inequality. Drawing on Stuart Hall’s representation theory, this master thesis examines and critically analyses racial and gender stereotypes in two animated films produced in the 1940s: Disney’s “Song of the South” (1946) and Avery’s “Red Hot Riding Hood” (1943). Disney’s animators produced a hybrid film with elements of fantasy and a utopian setting as a form of escapism, yet they also portrayed stereotypical black characters, contributing to the perpetuation of white supremacist ideology. On the other hand, Avery’s response to the wartime situation manifested in the antics of Wolfie, Grandma, and Red – the stereotypical representations of Hollywood playboys and pin-ups.
Abstract (croatian)
Četrdesete godine prošlog stoljeća označile su prekretnicu u shvaćanju animacije. U vremenu obilježenom Drugim svjetskim ratom i njegovim posljedicama, ona se prestaje smatrati zabavom isključivo za djecu. Stereotipi su ključni element u prenošenju ideja zbog čega se učestalo koriste u animiranim filmovima. Međutim, oni mogu biti štetni jer svode pojedince ili skupine ljudi na nekoliko pojednostavljenih osobina čime pomažu u održavanju nejednakosti istih. Polazeći od teorije reprezentacije britanskog kulturnog teoretičara Stuarta Halla, ovaj diplomski rad analizira rasnu i rodnu reprezentaciju u dva animirana filma iz 1940-ih: Disneyjevom „Song of the Southu“ (1946) i Tex Averyjevom „Red Hot Riding Hoodu“ (1943). Disneyjevi animatori stvaraju hibridni eskapistički film smješten u utopijsko okruženje koje nastanjuju stereotipni crnački likovi čime se zastupa ideologija bijele supremacije. S druge pak strane, Averyjev odgovor na ratnu situaciju manifestira se u ludorijama Vuka, Bake i Crvenkapice koji postaju stereotipna utjelovljenja Hollywoodskih ženskaroša i pin-up djevojaka
