Post-‐Feminist Action Heroines in Dystopian
POST-FEMINIST ACTION HEROINES IN DYSTOPIAN SOCIETIES: KATNISS EVERDEEN & MAX GUEVARA Author: Anna Ferrer Extremo Instructor: Dr. Isabel Santaulària Capdevila English Studies University of Lleida 12th June Year: 2014/2015 ABSTRACT The purpose of this survey is to investigate the effects of our post-feminist ethos on the representation of female action heroines in popular narratives, specifically in the genre of dystopia for young-adult audiences/readers using Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games trilogy and the television series Dark Angel as case studies. This dissertation is motivated by two research questions: (1) are post-feminist heroines adequate role models for young audiences/readers? And (2) to what extent does our post-feminist ethos influence and limit the heroic nature of female leading characters? This enquiry has been conducted following a methodology which combines (a) textual analysis of the main sources under investigation, (b) the examination of cultural products as a means to understand society, and (c) gender studies focusing on the representation of women and gender roles in the media. On the basis of the results of the present research it can be concluded that the contemporary heroines provided by dystopian works are remarkably limited with regards to their performance as heroic characters, and that their weaknesses reflect our society’s fears of the failure of patriarchy and the seizure of power by women. This study advances our understanding of the effects that our post-feminist ethos exert over the representation of action heroines in fiction, and it notes the need for gender equality not only in society but also in popular narratives. -
