Özet:

 It is observed that women have a series of roles that are positioned within the framework of beautiful and attractive adjectives in the traditional order of social structure and they do not have a life away from home. It has been seen that the identity elements of women have begun to change during the transition to the process of modernism. Within the scope of the study, the changes that the female identity has undergone from the traditional period to the present were analyzed through the female characters in animated films. Twenty posters of Disney and Hayao Miyazaki animated films made between 1984 and 2022 were analyzed by semiotics in the context of female identity construction. The answer to five basic questions were sought, which include the roles identified with womens identity in the posters, the imposition of beauty, the existence of environmental pressure elements on women, as well as the reflections of the change that womens identity has experienced until the postmodern period. According to the research results; over time, the representation of women in Disney animated posters has changed and the characters became more individualized women who pursue their freedom. Additionally, research results showed that Hayao Miyazakis female characters in animated movies were not subjected to the imposition of beauty, did not need a male hero, and even had an identity structure in which they were positioned in the role of savior.

 Kadınların geleneksel toplum yapısı düzeni içerisinde güzel ve çekici sıfatları çerçevesinde konumlandırılan, evden uzakta bir hayatı olmayan roller silsilesine sahip olduğu gözlenmektedir. Modernizm sürecine geçilmesi aşamasında kadının kimlik unsurlarının değişmeye başladığı görülmektedir. Çalışma kapsamında kadın kimliğinin geleneksel dönemden günümüze kadar geçirmiş olduğu değişimler animasyon filmlerdeki kadın karakterler üzerinden analiz edilmiştir. 1984-2022 yılları arasında yapılmış olan Disney ve Hayao Miyazaki animasyon filmlerinin 20 afişi kadın kimliği inşası bağlamında göstergebilim yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Afişlerde kadın kimliğiyle özdeşleştirilen roller, güzellik dayatması, kadının üzerindeki çevresel baskı unsurlarının varlığı ve postmodern döneme gelene değin yaşamış olduğu değişimin yansımalarının sorgulanmasını içeren five temel sorunun cevabı aranmıştır. Disney animasyon afişlerinde kadın temsilinin bireyselleşen, özgürlüklerinin peşinden giden bir kimlik yapısına dönüştüğü gözlemlemlenirken Hayao Miyazaki animasyon filmlerinde kadın karakterlerin genel itibariyle güzellik dayatmasına tabi tutulmayan, erkek kahramana ihtiyaç duymayan hatta kurtarıcı rolünde konumlandırıldığı bir kimlik yapısına sahip olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
