Jane Batkin explores how identity politics shape the inner psychology of the character and their exterior motivation, often buoyed along by their questioning of 'place' and 'belonging' and driven by issues of self, difference, gender and the body. Through this, Identity in Animation illustrates and questions the construction of stereotypes as well as unconventional representations within American, European and Eastern animation. It does so with examples such as the strong gender tropes of Japan's Hayao Miyazaki, the strange relationships created by Australian director Adam Elliot and Nick Park's depiction of Britishness. In addition, this book discusses Betty Boop's sexuality and ultimate repression, Warner Bros. anarchic, self-aware characters, and Disney's fascinating representation of self and society. Identity in Animation is an ideal book for students and researchers of animation studies, as well as any media and film studies students taking modules on animation as part of their course. 606 $aIdentity (Psychology) in motion pictures 606 $aAnimated films$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCartoon characters$xHistory 615 0$aIdentity (Psychology) in motion pictures. 615 0$aAnimated films$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCartoon characters$xHistory. 676 $a791.43/653 676 $a791.4334 700 $aBatkin$b Jane.$0923047 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910165051703321 996 $aIdentity in animation$92071136 997 $aUNINA
