SUMMARY:

How have female images been presented, created and transfigured in films made for
children? Faced with gender inequality and its political, economic and social
transformations and consequences, the images recorded, assembled and distributed
regarding the place of the feminine have the power to reveal, and also to create, many
ways of being in the world. The general objective of this research is to analyze the films
that have been produced for children in the last 9 years (2015-2023) that convey images
of girls, women and elderly people. To achieve this objective, we seek to: a) understand
the positioning of research in the area of Education in relation to female presentations in
cinema; b) catalog the films found that present the feminine in different generations; c)
analyze different forms of possible construction of the feminine image in different
generations through cinematographic works; d) choose a film that presents this theme, in
order to identify the elements of cinematographic language that make up the construction
of images of the female place in different generations; e) follow and share modes and
effects of subjective invention and reinvention that the encounter with the otherness of
cinema provokes as a spectator. When I set out to hunt for images of the feminine in films,
I invent ways of relating to the films found, inspired by the cartography of Gilles Deleuze
and Félix Guattari. For a more detailed analysis, the short film Summer Ball (2019) by
director Cíntia Domit Bittar, was chosen to understand how the image of the feminine is
constructed in different generations. In the theoretical framework, the main references
were Bell hooks (1952), Simone de Beauvoir (1949), Judith Butler (2003), Guacira Lopes
Louro (2014), Valeska Zanello (2018) in dialogue with scholars of cinematographic
language Barthes (1980), Bohnsack (2010), Martin (2013). The main results were: 1) the
consideration that, in more recent animations and films, especially Fairy Tale films,
modifications and destabilizations have been made in the presentations of femininity,
presenting women who are more independent and stronger than the classic characters; 2)
the plurality of feminine(s) and the problematization of femininity; 3) the loving
relationship with men as the central narrative of cinematographic works; 4) the female
role as support and assistance to male characters; 5) the presentation of relationships
between generations of girls, women and elderly people; 6) the subtlety of films as a
power of imagination and creation and, finally; 7) the denunciation of the association
established between feminine and motherhood. It is important to emphasize that these
seven aspects are not constructed in isolation and are linked to each other. Thus, when
looking at this variety of films, we aim for the manifestation of pluralities and singularities
of feminism(s) and coexistence between generations.
