Personality development is a term for someone who is on his period to develop his personality. Personality development can be triggered by several factors such as environment, friends, family, and trauma. In this thesis, Sansa’s personality development happens because of the influence of her family background. The writer formulates three questions in this thesis. The first formulated question discusses the personality development of Sansa Stark through season one. The second formulated question discusses the portrayal of Sansa’s family background. The last formulated question discusses the contributions of Sansa’s family background on her personality development. The writer uses several theories to analyse the problem above. First, the theory of character and characterisation from M.Boggs and W.Petrie. The second theory is a theory of film by W.Petrie and M.Boggs. The third theory is theory of personality development by Elizabeth Hurlock. After the writer found Sansa’s family background features then the writer related it with personality development theory. The writer uses library research to find the theories and data for this thesis. The primary data consists of the script and tv-series videos.

  • Representações Femininas Em Game of Thrones: Mediações Entre Os Sete Reinos E a Contemporaneidade
    Representações femininas em Game of Thrones: mediações entre os Sete Reinos e a Contemporaneidade Representações femininas em Game of Thrones: mediações entre os Sete Reinos e a Contemporaneidade1 Andréa Corneli Ortis Doutoranda; Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, Santa Maria, RS, Brasil ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9865-8411 Flavi Ferreira Lisbôa Filho Doutor; Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, Santa Maria, RS, Brasil ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4307-9401 Resumo A presente pesquisa questiona como são representadas as identidades femininas da personagem Sansa Stark, de Game of Thrones, e quais sentidos sobre o feminino contemporâneo são mobilizados pela série. Para isso, buscamos observar nosso objeto através da categoria personagem e interações por meio da análise textual proposta por Casetti e Chio (1999). Após isso, acionamos o conceito de mediação, advindo de um cotejamento entre Williams (1979), Orózco-Gómez (1997) e Martín-Barbero (2001), por meio das categorias gênero, competência e moralidade pública, e percebemos que a série busca problematizar tipos de violência que acontecem na contemporaneidade em relação ao feminino, como sexual, psicológica ou física, casamento infantil e mulher como moeda de troca. Assim, ao longo das temporadas, a personagem é retratada de modo a ascender, porém somente após passar por inúmeros tipos de violência. Portanto, os sentidos negociados entre a ficção e a realidade presentes em Sansa, na série, são formadas de acordo com o ambiente em que vive, valores sociais e privados impostos pela sociedade. Palavras-chave Identidade feminina. Gênero. Representação. Mediações. Game of Thrones. 1 Introdução É cada vez mais difícil tornar-se mulher na sociedade contemporânea, fato que vai de encontro aos tantos anos de lutas que foram travadas para tentar vivermos de maneira 1 Este trabalho é um recorte da dissertação de mestrado de mesmo título.

I also would like to thank the rest of my thesis committee: Dr. Eric Berlatsky and Dr. Carol McGuirk, for their inspiration, insightful comments, and willingness to edit my work. I also thank all of my fellow English graduate students at FAU, but in particular: Jenn Murray and Advitiya Sachdev, for the motivating discussions, the all-nighters before paper deadlines, and all the fun we have had in these few years. I’m also sincerely grateful for my long-time personal friends, Courtney McArthur and Phyllis Klarmann, who put up with my rants, listened to sections of my thesis over and over again, and helped me survive through the entire process. Their emotional support and mental care helped me stay focused on my graduate study despite numerous setbacks. Last but not the least, I would like to express my heart-felt gratitude to my sisters, Kelly and Jamie, and my mother.

  • Racialization, Femininity, Motherhood and the Iron Throne
    THESIS RACIALIZATION, FEMININITY, MOTHERHOOD AND THE IRON THRONE GAME OF THRONES AS A HIGH FANTASY REJECTION OF WOMEN OF COLOR Submitted by Aaunterria Treil Bollinger-Deters Department of Ethnic Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Fall 2018 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Ray Black Joon Kim Hye Seung Chung Copyright by Aaunterria Bollinger 2018 All Rights Reserved. ABSTRACT RACIALIZATION, FEMININITY, MOTHERHOOD AND THE IRON THRONE GAME OF THRONES A HIGH FANTASY REJECTION OF WOMEN OF COLOR This analysis dissects the historic preconceptions by which American television has erased and evaded race and racialized gender, sexuality and class distinctions within high fantasy fiction by dissociation, systemic neglect and negating artistic responsibility, much like American social reality. This investigation of high fantasy creative fiction alongside its historically inherited framework of hierarchal violent oppressions sets a tone through racialized caste, fetishized gender and sexuality. With the cult classic television series, Game of Thrones (2011-2019) as example, portrayals of white and nonwhite racial patterns as they define womanhood and motherhood are dichotomized through a new visual culture critical lens called the Colonizers Template. This methodological evaluation is addressed through a three-pronged specified study of influential areas: the creators of Game of Thrones as high fantasy creative contributors, the context of Game of Thrones
