The question of gender representation in Béla Bartok's (1881-1945) stage works is discussed through the prism of cultural studies, with reference to the intellectual, social and political atmosphere in which the composer shaped his ideas. In this sense, it is provocative to question how the stereotyped images of women influenced/merged with Bartok's personal view on women, or is it, maybe, possible that one intimate conception of female characters, reflected the composer's specific relationship toward women? The treatment of the female character will be shown through the analysis of the plot and key scenes in Bartok's stage work.

The Relationship

Although Jean Renoir’s oeuvre has been extensively debated since the emergence of the politique des auteurs in the pages of Cahiers du cinéma, his representation of gender relations has sustained less discussion than his signature formal style. This article posits that Renoir’s films provide a valuable means of identifying how gender, specifically female identity, affects temporal trajectories in cinema. First, it illustrates Gilles Deleuze’s understanding of crystallisation and situates it in relation to current scholarship on gender representation in the director’s work. Second, it conducts a close analysis of the relationship between female identity and crystallisation through a close analysis of the central female characters of La Règle du jeu (1939) and The Golden Coach (1952). This article ultimately argues that whether these characters belong to an upper-or lower-class stratum, they are subordinated to male power, which plays a determining role in the range of potential futures available to them.

The dialogue between image and text in Riana Scheepers's Dulle Griet This article examines the way in which the content and theme of Riana Scheepers’s Dulle Griet (1991) interact with the “manneplot” (traditional and/or stereotypical portrayal of female characters within novels) and with the cover illustration of the book – a detail of “Mad Meg” (as she is often referred to) from Pieter Brueghel’s Dulle Griet (1562). It explores how the women in Scheepers’s short stories are portrayed – not only as vulnerable, but also as evil and corrupt. They are abused victims; but they are also tyrannical abusers. They are innocent maidens and mothers, but also lovers, prostitutes, lesbians and murderers. The way in which the gradual degeneration of the anonymous central female character relates to Brueghel’s image of “Mad Meg” on her way to the jaws of hell is discussed in this article. But the article also demontrates Scheepers’s concern with feminist issues by using the cover as an ironic “frame”, and shows that the moral decline of the women portrayed in the text seems to be as a result of the actions of chauvinistic men, who appear in different forms throughout the text. Female degeneracy can thus be seen as a survival mechanism, in a world – and a text – dominated by the masculine paradigm, the “manneplot” of traditional male attitudes to women.

In the heroic legends of the peoples of Siberia, a special role is played by typical descriptions (stereotypes) that carry plot-forming and compositional functions. They reflect the syncretism of aesthetic and moral popular views in their content and the semantic guidelines that epic heroes are endowed with. As ethno-poetic constants, these stereotypes embodied the people’s value attitude to the world around them and, being transmitted for a long time, became ethnically differentiated cultural universals acquiring a normative status over time. In this study, an axiological approach has been applied to consider traditional portrait descriptions of warlike heroes and virgins, based on the comparative material from the epic of Buryats, Khakasses, and Shors. This approach allowed us to conclude that the similarity in imaging the characters of these peoples’ epic has a natural and genetic origin and that the descriptions show the syncretism of aesthetic and moral assessments. The descriptions used in the depiction of female characters are intertextual stereotypes taken from the general epic fund. The structure of these stereotypes comprises supporting phrases that tend to become epic formulas and function independently in the epic. Of the poetic and visual means, stereotypes steadily involve the comparisons and epithets easily correlated with the phenomena and objects of Nature and Space. The generally accepted statement that hyperbole is the main imaging device in the heroic epos is also confirmed in the female character description stereotypes.

Robert Bresson

Paul Schrader’s connection with director Robert Bresson is often explored through his male characters, the ‘man in his room’ of Light Sleeper and American Gigolo, but Taxi Driver before them and First Reformed most recently. However, Schrader’s two primary experiments with female characters, Cat People (1982) and Patty Hearst (1988), also follow a similar Bressonian trajectory and end with each female character incarcerated, yet finding a kind of spiritual freedom that helps them realize their identities. This chapter explores Schrader’s women primarily through close examination of Cat People’s Irina (Nastassja Kinski) and Natasha Richardson’s eponymous heroine in Patty Hearst, but use his representation of women in the male-driven films for points of comparison and contrast. In addition, this chapter approaches Schrader’s women as reflections of his male characters, many of whom are driven by existential anxiety that motivates them to seek self-actualization in redemptive violence.

Male Victim

This chapter evaluates gender representation in SAW (2004). In the confined male landscape of SAW's world, it is significant that 'the only one who made it' is female; and also perhaps important that she had to conquer another male victim to survive. Significantly, no female character dies in SAW, compared to the confirmed five, possibly seven, male deaths: a ratio that is in sharp contrast to typical horror body counts. Meanwhile, the theme of paternity is further investigated in SAW's other male representations, but mainly through Lawrence Gordon. The representation of men in SAW acts as a counterpoint to the representation of Amanda, providing deliberate balance to the film's ideas regarding gender. There is the abiding sense that Gordon is imprisoned for his failure to adequately fulfil the basic responsibilities of the expressly male archetype — the husband and father.
