Abstract

Ovaj rad obrađuje teme feminizma i feminističke reprezentacije u filmskim adaptacijama knjige ,,Män som hatar kvinnor” (Muškarci koji mrze žene) švedskog spisatelja Stiega Larssona. Započinje predstavljanjem termina feminizam i feministička kritika, nakon čega opisuje lik koji je tema ove analize, Lisbeth Salander, kao i razlike u prikazu lika u američkoj i švedskoj verziji filma. Nakon uvođenja u lik, postavlja se pitanje je li u filmu ona heroj ili žrtva. To se dalje povezuje s problematikom toga predstavlja li Lisbeth tim ulogama feminističkog vođu, a odgovor je ambivalentan – ona je i oboje i nijedno. Glavni problem u načinu na koji je prikazana leži u „muškom pogledu” i patrijarhatu, koji je duboko ukorijenjen u našem društvu – upravo je to zadnja točka ovog rada. Također je istaknuto da se u američkoj filmskoj adaptaciji gubi izvorna feministička ideja originala. Naposljetku dolazi se do zaključka da Lisbeth nije feministički vođa koji je potreban društvu, ali jest dobar temelj za potencijalne snažne ženske likove u budućnosti.

Abstract (english)

This paper discusses topics of feminism and feminist representation in the movie adaptations of the book “Män som hatar kvinnor” (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) by Stieg Larsson. It starts by introducing the terms feminism and feminist criticism and afterwards describes the character which is the subject of the analysis, Lisbeth Salander, alongside differences in the portrayal of the character in the American and Swedish version. After an introduction to the character, the question is raised whether she is a hero or a victim in the movie. This question is related to the question whether she is a feminist leader and the answer is ambivalent; she is both and neither. The main problem in the way she is portrayed lies in the male gaze and patriarchy, which is deeply rooted in our society, and is the last point in the paper. It is also noted that the American adaptation strays away from the original feminist idea. Finally, it is concluded that she is not the feminist leader the society needs but she makes a good foundation for future strong female characters.
