| Popis: | 106 The story where Mulan disguised as a man to substitute her father for the military service has been passed on for more than 1000 years in China. The Walt Disney Company from the U.S.A. even adapted the story to create two animated films, including “Mulan” and “Mulan II.” This study focuses on the intertextuality between Ballad of Mulan and Disney's Animations to investigate how Disney's Animations wield creativity to exhibit active intertextuality through the process of conversions in the story's scenarios “from female to male” and “from home to homeland.” This study contains 5 chapters, and the gist of each chapter is elaborated as follows: Chapter 1. “Introduction”: This chapter elaborates the research motivation and purpose, literature review and the research scope and methodology. Chapter 2. “Changes to the Clothing Styles through the Dynasties and Reasons for A Woman to be Disguised As a Man”: This chapter elaborates the Social etiquettes in ancient China and restrictions on women through the apparel system. This chapter also introduces the motivations and reasons for a woman to be disguised as a man through examples manifested by the “Three Words (San-Yen),” the “Two Amazing Tales (Er-Pai),” and “Gifted Scholars and Beautiful Ladies.” Chapter 3. “Source and Variations of Mulan's Story”: This chapter investigates the origin of Mulan's story and variations of the Mulan's story through the dynasties via the Ballad of Mulan and Mulan's story. Chapter 4. “The Intertextuality between the Ballad of Mulan and Disney's Animations of “Mulan” and “Mulan II””: This chapter elaborates the features, textual narratives and the intertextuality between the original Mulan's story and Disney's Animations in sequence. Chapter 5. “Conclusion”: This chapter elaborates the research results and highlights the contemporary significance of adaptations to Mulan's story through Disney's animations. |
