Abstract

This study examines the construction and subversion of traditional gender roles in Disney’s Mulan (1998) through the lens of Judith Butler’s theory of gender performativity. Using a qualitative literary approach, the film was analyzed through close readings of key scenes, dialogues, and symbolic elements, supported by scholarly critiques and feminist theory. The findings reveal three main results. 1) the film reinforces traditional stereotypes by presenting femininity as obedience, domesticity, and marriage, particularly through the “Honor to Us All” sequence. 2) Mulan’s acts of disguise and performance destabilize the gender binary, illustrating Butler’s claim that gender is not innate but performed through repetition and cultural expectation. 3) while the narrative challenges conventional roles, it simultaneously reinscribes heteronormative closure by the film’s conclusion, reflecting Butler’s insight that performances of resistance can still be reabsorbed into existing norms. This study concludes that Mulan functions as both a critique and reinforcement of gender roles, highlighting the instability of gender identity and its potential for reinterpretation. The analysis contributes to broader feminist discussions on how literature and media negotiate cultural norms, offering new insights into the performative nature of gender in animated narratives.

Abstract

This study aims at unveiling the power issue found in the movie, “Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse,” a multi-layered story and profound symbolism. This study analyzed the movie’s thematic effects using a variety of literary theories and cinematic analysis. Furthermore, the study investigated how the film's nuanced use of images and visual themes enhanced the overall story and elicits emotional resonance in the spectator. Having the movie analyzed, the theory of Power, Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison by Mitchel Foucault (1977), was used to criticize the power dynamic issue in the movie. As a result, 1) Leadership Conflict and Sovereign Power: The clash between Miles and Miguel highlights a conflict in ideals within the spider society. Miguel, as a leader, exerts sovereign power to control events, showcasing the dynamic of leadership struggles. 2) Resistance Against Anomaly and Exclusion: The designation of Miles as an "anomaly" reveals the resistance within the spider-society against individuals who deviate from established norms. The effort to exclude anomalies reflects a form of resistance against those perceived as outliers. 3) Power Relations in Identity Discourses: The discourses shaping Miles' identity, such as the "spider-society discourse" and "family discourse," contributes to shaping the dynamic power relations; Miles' resistance to these discourses illustrates a struggle for individual recognition and acceptance. This analysis underlines the movie’s broader societal relevance and potential impact by studying the socio-cultural milieu in which it was produced.
