Contains close analysis of the original Japanese text, noting the effect of particular kanji on the representations in the film. Analyses how Miyazaki creates female protagonists who do not conform to expectations of wife and motherhood, through alterations not reversals of gendered roles. Contains closer analysis of the characters of Chihiro and Kiki as positive feminist characters, but also several other male and female characters whose gender is \u2018defamiliarised\u2019 through genderbent references. This thesis would be useful for those interested in the subversion of gendered roles and representations, or the impact of Japanese language and cultural influence on the presentation of character\u2019s identity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"csl-bib-body\">\n<div class=\"csl-bib-body\">\n<div class=\"csl-entry\">Finley, J.
