A construção das princesas Disney: uma análise das performances, narrativas e identidades femininas

Abstract

Since Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Disney Studios' princesses have gained more and more visibility. As consequence, a certain pattern of femininity has been spread to children‟s audience. The meanings surrounding this construction of the feminine were changing, which inevitably relates to historical and social contexts. Given that children go through a process of subjectification when watching these movies, this paper aims to analyze the narrative, identity and performance constructions of these princesses based on the analytical marker of gender intersected with race and class. We will use the perspective of gender studies, intersectional feminism and cultural studies to understand what changes have occurred over time.
