dc.description.abstract [eng] In recent years, there has been an increase in queer representation in children’s audiovisual media, despite it being a generally traditional medium. This has been recognized by organizations such as GLAAD, which implemented in 2018 the category of “Media Award for Outstanding Kids and Family Programming,” following the rise in queer representation in children’s television shows. However, despite this growth, not all television series have the same depth in characterization or queer world-building that She-Ra and the Princess of Power (2018) puts forward. This cartoon series, a reboot of the 1985 eponym series created by Filmation Associates, challenges the pervasive stereotypes commonly associated with gender and sexuality, while also naturalizing queer relationships in its overall plot. It is through its characters and their relationships, that the show encourages its young viewers to step into a world devoid of binary stereotypes, which values all forms of love and self-expression without the prejudices that can be found in traditional media or even the outside world. This research project will analyze how She-Ra and the Princess of Power takes old-fashioned categories of difference to make them get merged, inflect, and transform one another, thus creating a queernormative world within children’s media. ca
dc.description.abstract [spa] En los últimos años ha habido un incremento en la representación de identidades queer en los medios audiovisuales para niños, a pesar de ser un medio con discursos muy tradicionales. Esto ha sido reconocido por instituciones como GLAAD, la cual implementó en 2018 la categoría de “Premio mediático al mejor programa infantil y familiar” tras el aumento de las representaciones queer en las series de televisión infantiles. No obstante, a pesar de este crecimiento, no todas las series tiene la misma profundidad en la caracterización ni en la creación de mundos queer que She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (2018) lleva a cabo. Esta serie de dibujos animados, un reboot de la serie homónima de 1985 creada por Filmation Associates, desafía los estereotipos dominantes comúnmente asociados con las cuestiones de género y sexualidad, a la vez que naturaliza las relaciones queer en su propia trama narrativa. A través de los personajes y sus relaciones, la serie anima a sus jóvenes espectadores a adentrarse en un mundo libre de estereotipos binarios, que tiene en cuenta todas las expresiones de amor y de expresión propia sin los prejuicios que existen en otros medios más tradicionales, o incluso en el mundo real. Este proyecto de investigación analizará como She-Ra and the Princesses of Power utiliza antiguas categorías de diferencia para que se combinen, influyan y transformen unas a otras, creando de esta manera un mundo queernormativo sin etiquetas dentro de los medios audiovisuales infantiles. ca
