  • THE ANCESTORS: the Ancestors Need to Be Strong Actor/Singers That Can Carry Solo Work
    THE ANCESTORS: The Ancestors need to be strong actor/singers that can carry solo work. There are five ancestors: LAOZI (pronounced LAU-tsi) represents Honor and is the leader of the group. LIN represents Loyalty and is the hardest on Mulan; Lin does not appreciate any challenges to the oldworld belief system. ZHANG (ZANG) represents Strength, the strong silent type. HONG represents Destiny and is Laozi's right-hand man. YUN (YOON) represents Love and is Mulan's greatest advocate from the beginning – the mother figure that eventually encourages the others to support Mulan for who she is. All Ancestors may be cast as either male or female. Vocal Range: A3 – D5. Audition song: “Honor to Us All Part 2”. FA ZHOU (fa zoo): Mulan's father, requires a confident and calm performer who has a strong presence and can sing, at least a little. Without playing "older," his calm strength contrasts with Mulan's frenetic energy at the top of the show. Sings a brief solo. Vocal Range: C4 – D5. Audition song: Choose from any of the audition songs. FA LI: Mulan's mother, is someone who also possesses strength but understands her place in her generation and culture. There is a definite wisdom that she passes on to Mulan. Vocal Range: C4 – D5. Audition song: “Honor to Us All Part 2” or any of the other songs on the audition list. GRANDMOTHER FA: Grandmother sees greatness in Mulan, but still wants her to achieve it through tradition. Although she does not need to be a strong singer, an actor with mischief in her eye will work well here.

  • Animated Stereotypes –
    Animated Stereotypes – An Analysis of Disney’s Contemporary Portrayals of Race and Ethnicity Alexander Lindgren, 36761 Pro gradu-avhandling i engelska språket och litteraturen Handledare: Jason Finch Fakulteten för humaniora, psykologi och teologi Åbo Akademi 2020 ÅBO AKADEMI – FACULTY OF ARTS, PSYCHOLOGY AND THEOLOGY Abstract for Master’s Thesis Subject: English Language and Literature Author: Alexander Lindgren Title: Animated Stereotypes – An Analysis of Disney’s Contemporary Portrayals of Race and Ethnicity Supervisor: Jason Finch Abstract: Walt Disney Animation Studios is currently one of the world’s largest producers of animated content aimed at children. However, while Disney often has been associated with themes such as childhood, magic, and innocence, many of the company’s animated films have simultaneously been criticized for their offensive and quite problematic take on race and ethnicity, as well their heavy reliance on cultural stereotypes. This study aims to evaluate Disney’s portrayals of racial and ethnic minorities, as well as determine whether or not the nature of the company’s portrayals have become more culturally sensitive with time. To accomplish this, seven animated feature films produced by Disney were analyzed. These analyses are of a qualitative nature, with a focus on imagology and postcolonial literary theory, and the results have simultaneously been compared to corresponding criticism and analyses by other authors and scholars. Based on the overall results of the analyses, it does seem as if Disney is becoming more progressive and culturally sensitive with time. However, while most of the recent films are free from the clearly racist elements found in the company’s earlier productions, it is quite evident that Disney still tends to rely heavily on certain cultural stereotypes.

  • Discourse Analysis of Ethical Challenges in Mulan Disney Princess Movie
    IMPACT: International Journal of Research in Humanities, Arts and Literature (IMPACT: IJRHAL) ISSN (P): 2347-4564; ISSN (E): 2321-8878 Vol. 7, Issue 1, Jan 2019, 431-442 © Impact Journals DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF ETHICAL CHALLENGES IN MULAN DISNEY PRINCESS MOVIE Farah Abdul-Jabbar Almnaseer 1 & Kawther Adnan Saleh 2 1Senior Assistant Professor, Department of English Language and Literature, Al-Mustansiriyah University, Baghdad, Iraq 2Researcher, Department of English Language and Literature, Al-Mustansiriyah University, Baghdad, Iraq Received: 10 Jan 2019 Accepted: 28 Jan 2019 Published: 31 Jan 2019 ABSTRACT Movies are one of the most favorable types of media which play a great role in shaping our daily lives. Also, they hold a huge impact on both children and adult in the whole word. Due to this importance, the present study shades the light on Mulan (1998) Disney princess animated movie which is highly seen by the audience. It seeks to analyze the verses of one of the movie's songs which is entitled " you'll bring honor to us all ". The article tends to analyze the types and the frequency of the different categories of lexical cohesion. For this purpose, Tanskanen's (2006) model of lexical cohesion is adopted for the analysis. The analysis revealed 42 lexical cohesive devices. The article reaches the conclusions that simple repetition is highly used among the other types and especially the repetition of the pronoun "you" in order to indicate that the honor of Mulan's family is based on her, since their cultural norms force the girl to be like " a perfect porcelain doll " in order to impress men and this in return will bring honor to the family.

  • Writing Titles by Amelia Keller Titles Are an Often Under Utilized Tool in Student Writing
    UCONN Hartford Writing Center UG Building, Room 303 W (860) 570-9237 / [email protected] Writing Titles by Amelia Keller Titles are an often under utilized tool in student writing. But think about it…if introductions are important because they are the first part of the paper your reader will read, then titles are similarly important because they precede even the introduction. Think about the times when, based primarily on an interesting title, you have decided to read a book, to skim an article, or to follow an online link. That is the power of titles. They let readers know what they will be reading before they have read a word of the actual text. Would you read an article if you had no idea what it was going to be about? Probably not. What titles do… At minimum, titles should reflect paper content (i.e. what the paper’s general topic will be, like an analysis on The Scarlet Letter or exploration of global warming). A strong title will prepare the reader for the paper, giving the reader some idea of what the paper’s argument or slant will be (i.e. What will you be saying about The Scarlet Letter? What position are you taking on global warming?). At best, a title will also be creative and attention grabbing. Titles should… 1) Give your reader a clear idea of what they are about to read. 2) Catch your reader’s attention. The first requirement is essential. The second is helpful, but not as important. It is always good to get a reader interested and invested in the essay early on.

  • Cameron Hurley Thesis NEW FINAL
    PRINCESS POWER Uncovering the Relationship Between Disney’s Protagonists, their Mothers, and their Fictive Kin Cameron Hurley A thesis submitted to the department of Cultural Anthropology for honors Duke University | Durham, North Carolina | 2018 Hurley 1 Abstract This paper analyzes the kinship relationships displayed in Disney princess films produced between 1937-2010. By exploring the various parental figures in the films, or the fictive kin who supplement their absence, the paper highlights the ways in which anachronistic thematic plots continue to affect modern children. The paper is divided into four chapters: I) Just Around the Riverbend, which discusses the familial sacrifices made in Pocahontas and Mulan; II) Motherless, which examines the consistent lack of biological maternal figures in the majority of the films, along with the witches who supplant them; III) Fairies, Forest Creatures, Father Figures, and Fictive Kin, which explores the single-fathers in the films and the anthropomorphic fictive kin that guide the protagonists in Cinderella and The Little Mermaid; and IV) Married Ever After, a chapter detailing Disney’s marketing tactics, consumerism, and the evolution of a woman’s relationship with the Walt Disney Company. Acknowledgments I would like to thank Dr. Lee D. Baker, Dr. Edna Andrews, and Dr. Heather Settle for their continued support throughout this senior thesis distinction project process. In addition, I would like to thank the Duke University Cultural Anthropology department as a whole for fostering my education over the last four years. Finally, I would like to thank my parents, my Yaya, and Jason Kaplan for their guidance through this journey.

    Vol. 15 No. 2 – October 2015 Deviation of Enhancing Stereotypes through Lexicalization and Songs in Mulan Joan Sanita [email protected] English Language Studies, Sanata Dharma University Abstract This paper investigates the deviation of enhancing stereotypes that takes place in Disney film Mulan. It attempts to reveal the stereotypes that arise from the film in terms of lexicalization and the songs. Also, this study examines the implication of watching this type of movie as it is classified as family genre. The analysis is based on S. Jager and F. Mayer (2009) film analysis on Foucauldian approach of discourse analysis. It connects linguistic discursive practice, non-linguistic discursive practice, and materialization (object). Because of the limitation of the space in presenting the data, this paper focuses only on the linguistic discursive practice in terms of lexicalization and four songs represented in the film. The result shows that in terms of lexicalization, the use of word ‘girl’ compared ‘man’ has an implied deal with the case of stereotypes. Likewise, the symbol of ‘girl’ as a doll and ‘man’ as a sword symbolized in the film also bring the effect on the stereotypes which are characterized by the female and male characters. Then, in terms of songs, the four songs that are sung in the film also convey the stereotypes which can be denoted by the film. Keywords: deviation, stereotypes, film Introduction Moreover, Disney, which is known as creator and producer for many children’s cartoons Mulan was one of Disney movies that and animations, has a very big impact on the acquired good reception at the time of its globalization on its films world-wide.
