Abstract

This study analyzes the 2017 film Wonder Woman through Judith Butler’s theory of gender performativity to explore how the narrative challenges patriarchal norms and redefines women’s roles in society. Using a feminist lens, the analysis highlights Diana’s experiences as she navigates contrasting gender expectations between Themyscira and patriarchal London. The study produces three key findings: 1) Diana’s resistance to restrictive social roles and clothing illustrates Butler’s view that gender is performed rather than innate; 2) her alienation within patriarchal London reflects the instability of gender identity when confronted with rigid societal norms; and 3) the solidarity between Diana and other women underscores Butler’s emphasis on collective resistance against oppressive structures. Ultimately, Wonder Woman emerges as a cultural text that embodies feminist ideals, inspiring new perspectives on empowerment, identity, and the reimagining of gender roles in modern society.

Abstract

This study aims to show how power operates through knowledge and control, which plays out in the movie "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)," for its precious source, vibranium. Employing the analytical framework by Foucault's theory of Power: Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison (1977). The analysis unveils a perspective towards ‘isolation vs global responsibility’ exploring deeply into the details of the movie. The visual effects and the cameraworks of the cinematography and the selected utterances were also conveyed along with the analysis of the movie. As a result: 1) The movie depicts Wakanda's view of vibranium as a global responsibility, aligning with Foucault's idea of power permeating the entire social body. 2) Wakanda's efforts to protect vibranium triggers the exercise of sovereign power, reflecting the centralized control over valuable resources. 3) The tension between ‘isolation’ and ‘global responsibility’, with Queen Ramonda resulting in refusal to trade vibranium due to its dangers and ethical concerns about sharing advanced technology for power abuse. The power dynamics in Wakanda help shape the identity and decision-making. The analysis of the issue of power dynamics of isolation, global responsibility in the movie leads to the insight and understanding about the ethics of sharing technology that provide rich material for a better good.
