EST COPY AVABitBLE 2 Perfect Little Feminists: Resistance, femininity, and violence in the "Powerpuff Girls." Spring-Serenity O'Neal Indiana University 1360 Arlington Park Dr. # 306 Bloomington, IN 47404 812-333-7141 [email protected] EST COPY AVAILABLE 3 1/4 Introduction Several years ago while assisting at a summer camp, I chanced to fmd a group of young girls watching a television program that struck me as so strange I prompted the girls to turn the television off and go play outside. The cartoon program they had been watching showed sweet-looking little girls engaging in vicious acts of violence. In the brief moments that I saw the cartoon I became convinced that no good could come from such depictions of mindless violence. I thought no more of this program, never suspecting how my rushed conclusions would come back to haunt me. So, I was surprised last year to meet several fellow university students who were huge fans of those very same little cartoon characters. I became increasingly curious about the cause of this cartoon's popularity and, after watching several episodes, soon found myself enjoying the very same program I had previously disdained. After critically viewing the Powerpuff Girls, I found that this show is not entirely what it appears to be. On the surface, it is the violent, trivial cartoon that I first believed it to be. However, as I will show through textual analysis, once the surface is peeled away, there is room for an alternative reading that explores how the show may be empowering to young female viewers. The purpose of my study, then, is to explore how the program depicts gender, violence, and relationships in a manner that is open to alternative readings. My main argument is that by creating unique characters and subverting dominant gender representations, the show offers an opportunity for resistance reading of the text by young female viewers. Specifically, the three lead characters offer an alternative type of heroine and/or role model than is depicted in such Disney characters as Show White, Sleeping Beauty or Cinderella. The violence that I first found fault with is actually an integral aspect of the alternative heroine, showing girls engaging in the type of violence usually only seen in boys. Based on studies I have explored, I propose to situate my research in the broad area of children and media, while focusing on the possibility of resistance reading in children's cartoons. While in-depth qualitative research has explored Disney films at length, little study of this type has addressed television cartoons. My study will add to a fairly underdeveloped area of research by focusing specifically on cartoons that may affect young girls and by engaging in the material in a way that does not involve coding violent content, but looks at broader gender and cultural issues. I will conduct a qualitative textual analysis that explores not just violence, but also gender representations. This paper will outline the theories that inform my analysis and explain my methodology, including my strategy for data collection and conceptual and operational definitions. I will then review pertinent literature to provide a foundation for my analysis. Theories My analysis of the Powerpuff Girls draws heavily from theories of resistance reading and liberal feminism. The key ideals of these theories shaped both the way that I conducted the study as well as provided a foundation for some of the key themes that emerged from the Powerpuff Girls. Stuart Hall first developed the theory of resistance reading by arguing that even though every text is subject to its inherent historical ideologies and encoded messages, all texts are still open to viewer interpretation (Hall, 1984). Viewers may interpret media messages through three different readings: dominant reading, negotiated reading, or 2 oppositional reading. Dominant reading occurs when the viewer does not question media content, but simply accepts the intended dominant message. Negotiated readings involve interpreting the text with some dominant messages still intact, but in the context of personal experiences and peer influence. An oppositional reading is one that completely rejects the dominant message and instead interprets the message to mean something different. I will argue that the Powerpuff Girls provides the opportunity for resistance readings on at least the negotiated level, if not the oppositional level. A liberal feminist background contributes to my analysis in two key ways. First, the content of the Powerpuff Girls depicts, in many cases, the ideals of liberal feminism. According to Steeves, "[1]iberal theory assumes that rational mental development is the highest human ideal and that the state should act to assure equal opportunities for all in pursuing this goal and associated ones," (1987). Although Steeves and others have criticized the failings of liberal feminism, the notion that males and females should be equal, able to engage in the same activities, and treated equally, underlies several themes that emerge in the Powerpuff Girls. Secondly, my own sympathies toward the ideals of liberal feminism contribute to my interpretation of the Powerpuff Girls. Literature Review The literature that informs my study comes from several areas of scholarship, including feminist studies, violence in media, and resistance reading. The following studies illustrate and explain the theories and methods I have utilized in my analysis. In addition, these works also shape many of my key points and helped me identify certain themes that emerge from the Powerpuff Girls. Feminist scholars have shown that the media play an active role in framing feminist issues, as well as defining what it means to be a feminist.

  • Abandoning the Girl Show Ghetto: Introducing and Incorporating Care Ethics to Girls' Animation
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Adam C. Hughes for the degree of Master of Arts in Applied Ethics presented on July 15, 2013 Title: Abandoning the Girl's Show Ghetto: Introducing and Incorporating Care Ethics to Girls' Animation Abstract approved: Flora L. Leibowitz In regards to animation created and aimed at them, girls are largely underserved and underrepresented. This underrepresentation leads to decreased socio-cultural capital in adulthood and a feeling of sacrificed childhood. Although there is a common consensus in entertainment toward girls as a potentially deficient audience, philosophy and applied ethics open up routes for an alternative explanation of why cartoons directed at young girls might not succeed. These alternative explanations are fueled by an ethical contract wherein producers and content creators respect and understand their audience in return for the privilege of entertaining. ©Copyright by Adam C.

  • Animating Race the Production and Ascription of Asian-Ness in the Animation of Avatar: the Last Airbender and the Legend of Korra
    Animating Race The Production and Ascription of Asian-ness in the Animation of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra Francis M. Agnoli Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) University of East Anglia School of Art, Media and American Studies April 2020 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. 2 Abstract How and by what means is race ascribed to an animated body? My thesis addresses this question by reconstructing the production narratives around the Nickelodeon television series Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005-08) and its sequel The Legend of Korra (2012-14). Through original and preexisting interviews, I determine how the ascription of race occurs at every stage of production. To do so, I triangulate theories related to race as a social construct, using a definition composed by sociologists Matthew Desmond and Mustafa Emirbayer; re-presentations of the body in animation, drawing upon art historian Nicholas Mirzoeff’s concept of the bodyscape; and the cinematic voice as described by film scholars Rick Altman, Mary Ann Doane, Michel Chion, and Gianluca Sergi. Even production processes not directly related to character design, animation, or performance contribute to the ascription of race. Therefore, this thesis also references writings on culture, such as those on cultural appropriation, cultural flow/traffic, and transculturation; fantasy, an impulse to break away from mimesis; and realist animation conventions, which relates to Paul Wells’ concept of hyper-realism.

  • Third Wave Feminism and the Powerpuff Girls Evie Kendal Introduction the Popular Children's
    There’s No One Perfect Girl: Third Wave Feminism and The Powerpuff Girls Evie Kendal Introduction The popular children’s television series, The Powerpuff Girls, was originally conceived by animator Craig McCracken under the name The Whoopass Girls in 1992.1 Following a name change and three alternative pilot epi- sodes, the series was picked up by the Cartoon Network and ran from 1995 through to 2005. During this time the show won several awards, including two Primetime Emmy awards for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation (2000 and 2005), and two Annie awards for Production Design and Musical Score in an Animated Series (2001).2 In this article I will be exploring The Powerpuff Girls from a feminist perspective, focusing on what is unique about this series and where it is positioned in popular media culture, before addressing some of the common criticisms of the show and identifying some of its major strengths. It will be my contention that The Powerpuff Girls embraces third-wave feminist ideology, with its focus on “Girl Power” and consumerism, while also abandoning the more individual- istic aspects of this brand of feminism by exploring the meaning of sister- hood and female empowerment through community. COLLOQUY text theory critique 24 (2012). © Monash University. www.arts.monash.edu.au/ecps/colloquy/journal/issue024/kendal.pdf ░ Third Wave Feminism and The Powerpuff Girls 235 Background: The relationship between the second and third waves of feminism According to Lise Shapiro Sanders, one of the major distinguishing features of third-wave feminism is the privileging of the “diversity of women’s experi- ence over the similarities amongst women,” with a particular focus on ad- dressing the inadequacies of second-wave ideology to deal with women’s experience beyond its “white, middle-class biases.”3 In this way, women of colour and those from the developing world were recruited into the fight for equality, while at the same time a radical reclamation of the symbols asso- ciated with traditional femininity was initiated.
