WMC INVESTIGATION: 10-YEAR ANALYSIS OF GENDER & OSCAR NOMINATIONS womensmediacenter.com @womensmediacntr WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER ABOUT THE WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER In 2005, Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan, and Gloria Steinem founded the Women’s Media Center (WMC), a progressive, nonpartisan, nonproft organization endeav- oring to raise the visibility, viability, and decision-making power of women and girls in media and thereby ensuring that their stories get told and their voices are heard. To reach those necessary goals, we strategically use an array of interconnected channels and platforms to transform not only the media landscape but also a cul- ture in which women’s and girls’ voices, stories, experiences, and images are nei- ther suffciently amplifed nor placed on par with the voices, stories, experiences, and images of men and boys. Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spotlight gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment flm and television, social media, and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; “The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Media Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; “WMC Media Watch: The Gender Gap in Coverage of Reproductive Issues”; “Writing Rape: How U.S. Media Cover Campus Rape and Sexual Assault”; “WMC Investigation: 10-Year Review of Gender & Emmy Nominations”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual WMC Status of Women in the U.S.

Educational and Therapeutic Impact of Contemporary Animated Film Characters on the Viewer
Konteksty Pedagogiczne 2(11)/2018, s. 151–163 DOI: 10.19265/KP.2018.211151 www.kontekstypedagogiczne.pl Joanna Mytnik [email protected] University of Bialystok ORCID iD: 0000-0003-3924-8188 Educational and therapeutic impact of contemporary animated film characters on the viewer Introduction From the beginning of its existence, films have been evoking interest and giving inspiration. A motion picture has been a tool for many practition- ers. Educators, psychologists, therapists, and animators have long appreci- ated and used film art in their work. Considering the increasing pervasion of the mass media into human life, its presence in many aspects of human functioning, it is necessary to pay close attention to the power of its influ- ence. It is worth noting that the products of popular culture do not only carry risks. Films created for commercial purposes also serve higher purposes, not just entertainment. Being easier in perception for the viewer at any age (through the frequency of contact with this cultural product), it can influence their emotions more strongly, encourage deeper mental work and stimulate reflection. In this article I would like to focus primarily on the possibilities of supporting upbringing and human development, referring to the assump- tions of film therapy (Kozubek, 2016). According to Depta, “the starting point of educational work with a film should be the use of such films that are most popular among young viewers while increasing their cognitive horizons” (Depta, 1983, p. 165). The potential of contemporary animated films seems to be indisputable in this respect, as will be demonstrated by the analysis of the main factor of their influence on the viewer, namely film heroes.

A Film of Many Colors : Neoliberalism, Capitalism, and Climate Change in Rango
Montclair State University Montclair State University Digital Commons Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects 5-2021 A Film of Many Colors : Neoliberalism, Capitalism, and Climate Change in Rango Sierra Javras Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.montclair.edu/etd Part of the American Film Studies Commons Javras 1 ABSTRACT Although largely ignored by ecocritics, Gore Verbinski’s Rango is undeniably a valuable film in the debates about climate change. It follows the story of a chameleon who accidentally falls out of his owner’s car and travels to Dirt, a town populated by anthropomorphized animals in the Mojave Desert suffering from a drought caused by neoliberal water privatization. Through various filmmaking techniques, such as the use of mise-en-scene, character design, and narrative style, Verbinski exposes the detrimental impacts the artificial water shortage and various other capitalist endeavors have caused to the desert environment. In doing so, I argue that he not only exposes the inherently contradictory interplay between progress, profits, and the destruction of the ecological world, but also encourages viewers to critique the goal of individual profit embedded in the ideologies of neoliberal capitalism. After noting the role of capitalism and consumerism on the landscape, both of the film and in general, I will then consider how these systems have shaped our understanding of and relationship to the natural world. The overriding desire for individual wealth has produced a conception of the natural, nonhuman world defined by mastery and commodification. Verbinski’s film, however, works to subvert these attitudes by acknowledging the interdependence between humans and nonhumans and begins to argue for a more sustainable future.

The main purpose of the article is to reflect on the actions of contemporary characters of animated feature-length social films. There are many valuable anima- tions about various problems that can play an important role in preparing young viewers for life in society. I am particularly interested in whether and how a film work, as a cultural product, can help convey social issues and then be used in a va- riety of activities. The specificity of the undertaken topic requires drawing from various fields of knowledge, allowing for their mutual permeation and inspiration.
