  • It's a Bird! It's a Plane! It's… a Girl?!: Analyzing Representations of Femininity on the CW's Supergirl by Dylan Frei
    It’s a Bird! It’s a Plane! It’s… a Girl?!: Analyzing Representations of Femininity on The CW’s Supergirl by Dylan Freitag A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Communication Carleton University, Ottawa Ontario ©2020 Dylan Freitag Abstract Although it takes more than diverse media representation to create positive social change, representation is still an important part of normalizing identities and pushing discussions of social issues. However, representations of certain minority groups, whether on the basis of racial, ethnic, sexual, or gender identities, are often largely absent in media, and flawed when they do exist. This is true of comic books and the various forms of media that have adapted superhero stories. For instance, superhero tales have long been dominated by depictions of superheroes who are heterosexual cisgender men. Because of this trend spanning from the 1930s into the 21st century, superhero stories have developed a reputation of being a boy’s club rife with sexism. Certainly, this issue persists to this day, but this thesis provides a snapshot of how women are fairing in superhero media in the mid-to-late 2010s. By focusing specifically on the case study of the CW’s Supergirl, I discuss how representations of superwomen have improved greatly compared to popular expectations and no longer entirely reflect a singular and problematic ideal of what being a woman means. In particular, my examination is centered around three of Supergirl’s main women: protagonist Kara Danvers/Supergirl, Kara’s sister and super spy Alex Danvers, and the heroic Nia Nal/Dreamer.

  • Nia Nal the Super Girl: Transgender Representation and Body Image
    Nia Nal the Super Girl: Transgender Representation and Body Image SARAH F. PRICE With the production of television series such as Pose, Transparent, I am Jazz, I am Cait, and Orange is the New Black in conjunction with current political discussion on transgender rights involving transgender military service and the bathroom bills, transgender and gender diverse (TGD) representations have become a vital issue within American culture. Orange is the New Black and Pose focus on subjects directly impacting the TGD communities today, while I am Jazz and I am Cait follow the stories of Jazz Jennings and Caitlyn Jenner navigating life as transgender women. These series, surprisingly diverse in their racial representations of transgender identity, open the door to transgender existence in hegemonic media. In their latest season, the CW television series Supergirl has introduced the newest superhero to join the crew: a transgender woman named Nia Nal, who is able to see the future through her dreams. This new addition to TGD representation simultaneously breaks through to new territories as well as reinforces the existing hegemonic image of TGD identity and the gender binary. The influx of TGD characters has begun to assert an ideal transgender body upon the media-produced transgender narrative while furthering representation and acceptance of the existence of transgender people. Despite their innovative portrayals of these transgender characters, the effect of the combined representations creates a specific and narrow image of what it means to be transgender. As E.T. Booth explains: “As is the case with any marginalized group... an increase in media representation may be just as likely to further confuse the issue as to clarify it, particularly when the commercial interests controlling those Sarah F.
