Abstract

Ova studija pokušava pružiti prikaz moderne akcijske junakinje unazad 10 godina analizirajući financijski najuspješnije filmove akcijskog žanra od siječnja 2007. do prosinca 2016. godine. Za svaku od spomenutih godina uzet je po jedan film što čini uzorak od 10 filmova i ukupno 86 analiziranih likova. Od ukupnog broja analiziranih likova njih 28 bile su žene. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da je akcijska junakinja manje zastupljena od akcijskih junaka i da rijetko tumači glavnu ulogu u filmu. No, s druge strane junakinje su se pokazale emancipiranim, osjećajnim, uglavnom mladim, lijepim ženama koje znaju jasno artikulirati vlastite želje i stavove te imaju ostvarene poslovne karijere dok briga o kućanstvu pada u drugi plan. Iako znaju i same biti heroine i spasiteljice, u nešto većem broju slučajeva ipak im je potrebna pomoć u spašavanju žive glave, a sve izazove pred sobom uspijevaju riješiti u odjeći koja naglašava fizičke atribute ženstvenosti.

Abstract (english)

This study attempts to showcase a modern action heroina in the last decade by analyzing the most financially successful movies of the genre from January 2007 till December 2016. For each of the aforementioned years, one film was taken, making a sample of 10 films and a total of 86 analyzed characters. Of the total number of analyzed characters, 28 were women. Research findings have shown that the action heroine is less represented than the action heroes and rarely interprets the main role in the film. But, on the other hand heroines have been shown emancipated, sensible, mostly young, beautiful women who know how to articulate their own desires and attitudes and have a business career, while the care of the household falls into the second plan. Although they tend to be someone else’s heroines and rescuers, in a number of cases they still need help staying alive. It is hard not to notice that all of the challenges ahead of them can be solved in clothes that still emphasize the femininity of the body.
