  • 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

The analysis is based on Foucault’s notion of monstrosity in power, which is characterized by a monstrous conduct and includes the excess and potential abuse of power. The article argues that monstrosity in his rule reveals deeper layers in Tyrion’s personality, which is initially suggested to be defined by morality. The article also comes to the conclusion that his morality limits the scope of his monstrous methods, which eventually leads to his fall from power. ✉ 1 Eötvös Loránd University, Faculty of Humanities, Budapest, Hungary. email: [email protected] HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES COMMUNICATIONS | (2020) 7:70 | https://doi.org/10.1057/s41599-020-00562-3 1 ARTICLE HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES COMMUNICATIONS | https://doi.org/10.1057/s41599-020-00562-3 Introduction ne of the most compelling features of George R.

  • 1 Daenerys Targaryen and Feminist Theory in Game of Thrones Lauren
    Daenerys Targaryen and Feminist Theory in Game of Thrones Lauren Humphreys Dr. Sarah Wright Duquesne University Senior 1 Over the past several years, Western popular culture has seen an explosion in interest for the fantasy genre, erupting in 2011 when HBO premiered the television drama Game of Thrones. The drama series and the books it is based on have both been praised for their intricate weaving of many plotlines, genres, and thematic specialties. As with any popular culture phenomena, Game of Thrones was privileged enough to have their own creative platform from which to perform social critiques. While most of these criticisms are placed in a medieval and/or fantasy context, many lessons provided by Thrones are relevant to its twenty-first century fan base. From its premier, the show has been admonished for its portrayal of women and its lack of feminist qualities. Sexism runs rampant in all of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, with most of the social norms and customs dependent upon(?) the inherent ‘trade value’ of the female population. No woman is safe from the predatory nature of Westerosi men. It is the transaction and exchange of women that makes life in Westeros, and its neighboring continent, Essos, possible. When looking at the series through this lens, it is easy to apply Luce Irigaray’s essay “Women on the Market” to the context of the female characters who inhabit that world. Irigaray’s essay presents the argument that women are just as easily exchanged by men as any other commodity. Her thesis is extremely evident within the world of Game of Thrones, where the functional nature of society is predicated on whether or not women can be exchanged and reproduce.

  • Non-Conforming Femininity in Game of Thrones: an Analysis of Arya Stark and Brienne of Tarth
    Dearcadh: Graduate Journal of Gender, Globalisation and Rights Volume 1, 2020 DOI: 10.13025/4nzq-hb04 URL: https://doi.org/10.13025/4nzq-hb04 ORIGINAL ARTICLE________________________________ Non-Conforming Femininity in Game of Thrones: An Analysis of Arya Stark and Brienne of Tarth Trejo Morales, Cristina M.A. Gender, Globalisation, and Rights National University of Ireland, Galway Abstract The male gaze is a theory that was developed by Laura Mulvey (1975), addressing the objectification of women in classic Hollywood films. While the male gaze is highly criticized, it is still applicable today and is presented in the representation of women in current media, like the television show Game of Thrones. The power of the male gaze can be seen in the female character’s nudity, the sexual violence directed towards female characters, and how women access political power through sexuality and fertility (Ferreday, 2015; Genz, 2016; Frankel, 2014). While women in Game of Thrones are not powerless, their access to power is through conforming to typical forms of femininity, which means that their access to power is restrained and controlled. However, not all female characters conform to gender ideals, like Arya Stark and Brienne of Tarth. The objective of this paper is to examine how the male gaze can account for the treatment of non-gender-conforming female characters in Game of Thrones, using feminist qualitative content analysis. Looking at non-gender- conforming characters is critical to understanding the diverse ways the male gaze is used to punish female characters, coercing them into femininity. Based on the analysis undertaken as part of a MA thesis, this paper found that although non-gender- conforming female characters were given more liberties than female characters in Game of Thrones, they were still subjected to the control, coercion, and discipline of the male gaze, even if in non-sexual ways.

It was originally written as a series of novels by the American author George R. R. Martin in 1996 and adapted to the TV screen by HBO in 2011. The series has completed its sixth season and is scheduled to go on for a total of eight seasons. Since its first broadcast in 2011, A Game of Thrones has attracted millions of viewers on a global scale and has received a total of 38 Emmy Awards. In A Game of Thrones, gender is one of the central themes, as power relations generally evolve around different gender roles. This study analyses masculinity in A Game of Thrones and the different types of masculinities which are identified through various male and female characters. This classification places all of the characters in two distinct gender categories. It also reveals the impact of these diverse forms of masculinities on the lives of the main characters and the general storyline of the production. Thus, the paper deconstructs the constructed masculinities in A Game of Thrones by exposing their representation through the main characters.
