Resumen
En un contexto, en el cual el cine y los productos audiovisuales se siguen transformando a
partir de las nuevas tecnologías, se ha vuelto más necesario el cuestionamiento sobre cómo y
qué discursos se están reproduciendo a través de ellos. Asimismo, en una sociedad en la cual
aún se repiten patrones que minimizan y sexualizan a la mujer y los cuerpos feminizados, se
vuelve prioridad encontrar miradas y herramientas que vayan en contra de ello.
Por estos motivos, el presente estudio ahonda en cómo el movimiento de cine independiente
estadounidense, Mumblecore, ha influido en la representación de personajes femeninos
construidos bajo una mirada femenina. Esto se determina a partir del análisis de las
protagonistas de las películas más representativas del movimiento: Funny ha ha (2002) y
Frances Ha (2012).
Para lograrlo, el estudio aplica una metodología de análisis de personajes, bajo los estatutos de
la Teoría Fílmica Feminista (TFF) y el análisis de temáticas que se desprenden del mundo
interno y externo de las protagonistas. En paralelo, la investigación analiza la estética visual y
códigos cinematográficos que propone cada película.
De esta manera, se abre paso a conclusiones que destacan la diferencia entre ambas
protagonistas y cómo una de ellas se inscribe más en la mirada femenina que la otra y cómo
efectivamente el Mumblecore se presenta como una suerte de espacio seguro para que la mirada
femenina pueda desarrollarse, evolucionar y expandirse.
In a context in which cinema and audiovisual products continue to be transformed, based on new technologies, it has become more necessary to question how and what discourses are being reproduced through them. Likewise, in a society in which patterns that minimize and sexualize women and feminized bodies are still repeated, it becomes a priority to find perspectives and tools that go against it. For these reasons, the present study delves into how the American independent film movement, Mumblecore, has influenced the representation of female characters constructed under a female gaze. This is determined from the analysis of the protagonists of the most representative films of the movement: Funny haha (2002) and Frances Ha (2012). To achieve this, the studio applies a methodology of character analysis, under the statutes of Feminist Film Theory (FFT) and the analysis of themes that arise from the internal and external world of the protagonists. At the same time, the research analyzes the visual aesthetics and cinematographic codes proposed by each film. In this way, it opens the way to conclusions that highlight the difference between the two protagonists and how one of them is inscribed more in the female gaze than the other one and how effectively Mumblecore is presented as a kind of safe space for the female gaze to develop, evolve and expand.
