Title Superheroine u stripovima Title (english) Comic Book Superheroines Author Karla Vrančić Mentor Astrid Nox (mentor) Committee member Marina Gabelica (predsjednik povjerenstva)Committee member Marko Gregurić (član povjerenstva) Committee member Astrid Nox (član povjerenstva) Granter University of Zagreb Defense date and country 2021-02-26, Croatia Scientific / art field, FIELD OF ART Scientific / art field, HUMANISTIC SCIENCES Abstract Iako se začetnicima modernih stripova mogu smatrati i crteži prehistorijskih ljudi na špiljama, prvi otisak na društvo stripovi su ostavili u tridesetim godinama prošlog stoljeća. Predstavljanjem superheroja, stripovi su se uvukli u svako kućanstvo, nudeći bijeg od tmurne stvarnosti Drugog svjetskog rata. Postigavši tako velik utjecaj, stripovi i njihovi likovi su često korišteni kako bi se prenijela nekakva politička misao ili postiglo nacionalno ujedinjenje. Kasnije, u doba mira, uloga stripa bila je da promovira poželjne društvene vrijednosti kroz prizmu šaljivih, indirektno provokatorskih sadržaja. Prikaz žene u stripu od samih je početaka bio prepun nade. Lois Lane, iako po mnogočemu tipična žena ondašnjeg doba, posjedovala je vrijednosti koje su je udaljavale od stvarne žene. Njena aspiracija za ostvarivanjem u karijernom smislu pružila je mnogim ženama vjetar u leđa kako bi mogle realizirati svoje snove. Wonder Woman, koja je od samih početaka pratila Supermana i Batmana, iako previše seksualizirana, postala je uzorom mnogim mladim djevojčicama i djevojkama. Unatoč dobroj namjeri tvoraca stripova, i ženski je lik doživio sramotne promjene. Nasilnim umetanjem ženskih likova kako bi se poboljšala situacija iza stripovskih kulisa, dovela je do stvaranja likova poput She-Hulka, koji je često uspoređivan sa ženom u stanju PMS-a. U konačnici, strip se može sagledati kao pozitivan medij, koji je često aktivan sudionik u društvenim promjenama. Ne može se sagledavati negativno obzirom da je vjerna preslika društva u kojem se nalazi.
Abstract (english) Although the origins of comic books can be found in the most archaic of examples – in a cave in which the prehistoric man dwelt, their real impression on the society in its todays form has been introduced during the third decade of the twentieth centrury. By introducing superheroes, comic books have found their way into the homes of all Americans, offering an escape from the grim reality of World War II. Amassing such a great influence, comic books and their respective characters have often been used to convey a political thought or achieve unification. Later, in times of peace, the main role of a comic book was to promote societies values through a prism of comical, fantastical and indirectly provocative motives.
The portrayal of women in comic books has always been filled with hope. Lois Lane, although by many characteristics a normal woman of that day and age, was actually way ahead of her time. Her career aspirations served as a base for many other women to pursue their dream, once they've seen it done by Lois Lane. Wonder Woman, who has from the start been a renowned superhero alongside Superman and Batman, although oversexualized has become a role model to many young girls and women throughout the world. In spite of the creators' good intentions, female superheroes have been dealt some devastating blows. Dealt with an ulterior motive, characters like She-Hulk were created, often described as a woman in a perpetual state of PMS. Finally, comic books can be perceived as a positive medium which is often an active part of societal changes.It cannot be viewed as negative as it is merely a faithful representation of the society it was a part of.
