| Popis: | 106 In 2017, gender awareness at first glance has moved towards a pluralistic and equitable way. However, we can still find that many people are watching the world with a filter of patriarchal consciousness and some people are affected to a certain degree. According to G. Gerbner's research, it can be found that the media can construct the audience's worldview and make it unified. When viewers use media content, they are likely to be affected by the content of the message and gradually recognize the mainstream values in the society, lack of thinking and criticism of them, and reduce the possibility of multiple thinking. However, these mainstream values can be questioned and debated. Therefore, when we discuss patriarchy and society, media can be a cut-in point. The importance of animation and comics as a mass media is obvious. As a result, a text "Sailor Moon" emerged. It was classified as a girls’ category but emphasized the power of women character. Therefore, this study will try to understand whether the message content conveyed in this text echoes feminism. Through textual analysis, this study attempts to interpret the meaning of the text; through narrative analysis, it then understands the relationship between the text's storyline and the characters. Later, it tries to clarify the relationship between whole structure and unit elements with the structural anthropology of Claude Lévi-Strauss in “Sailor Moon”. And this study found that through feminism, the female characters in Sailor Moon appear in a powerful and subjective way that echoes the feminist vision of the future of women. Gender is no longer presented in a dualistic way. Both women and men are not framed by the value of the patriarchal system, further more, it tries to blur the boundary in the concept of gender. And the binary relationship in Sailor Moon is not in absolute terms. These binary elements are filled with fluidity, dialecticity, and even duality. When these dual elements are no longer absolute relative relations, there is no way to strengthen the structure of these dual relations. The only dual relationship that has been established echoes the core of feminist discourse on women's situation. |
