Inhalt
Female game characters have come a long way since the days where Lara Croft and Princess Peach were the only ones flying the feminine flag, and the results are rather awe-inspiring. Although developers struggled to combine curves with personality and insisted in over sexualising their creations or giving them sassy attitude, the industry has witnessed a progressive shift in female representation in games and it has made serious strides toward creating believable women. No longer are female characters simple glassy-eyed dolls, damsels in distress or mere extensions of the main character (mostly male). Female heroines and characters have become more relatable, realistic, in fact they have been “humanised” and letting stereotypical romantic love stories fade into the background has provided them with room for character development.
This seminar aims to analyse the gradual change in the portrayal of female characters in video games, namely: Lara Croft (Tomb Raider), Aloy (Horizon Zero Dawn) and Wonder Woman (DC Games). By studying these characters’ gender roles, expressions of gender, fashion, psychological behaviour and tendencies, we will attempt to uncover the many layers of female representation in this form of media and how how it has changed since the early 1990s.
