- Inhalt
- In 1949, Joseph Campbell described, in The Hero with a Thousand Faces, the path (or rather cycle) through which every hero has to go in order to succeed in their journey. His work approaches heroification from a mythological and masculine perspective. Throughout this course, however, we will be looking at his model from a modern and feminine angle. How does the process of becoming a hero differ between men and women? How do concepts of masculinity and femininity play a role within the same heroine? With such questions in mind, we will discuss the construction and development of some female protagonists in Modern and Contemporary Literature. For instance, we have Charlotte Brontë s Jane Eyre or Jane Austen s Lizzy Bennet whose impact on readers and society of their respective times has paved and opened way for the creation of Suzanne Collin s Katniss Everdeen, Veronica Roth s Beatrice Prior and even Wonder Woman in the twentieth and early twenty-first Century. In this class, we will analyze the gradual changes that have happened in the portrayal of a few female characters in literature, the various degrees of masculinity and femininity in their behavior (androgyny), how their fashion influences (positive or negatively) their image, their journey to become heroines and the impact of their image in the eduction of young and adult female audiences.
