Autenticitet i animerad realism : En semiotisk studie i hur dokumentärfilmen Five Years After the War förhåller sig till autenticitet i animerad realism

Sammanfattning: The purpose of this essay is to examine, based on a qualitative semiotic image analysis, how the animated documentary Five Years After the War relates to authenticity in relation to animated realism. Parts of the film have been selected to characterize animated realism. The study discusses current concepts in the genre such as oxymoron, familization and defamiliarization. The study's theoretical starting points are stereotyping and contradictions as well as equivalence between characters, empathy and choices of color. The analysis interprets the underlying characters through connotations, which are divided into different sections in relation to the theoretical starting points and animated realism. The results show how the genre seen as oxymoronic, where animation and realism are in opposition to each other, can be reflected in this film. The scenes create contradictions and critical thinking in the underlying characters which in turn leads to an understanding of the signs and which thus becomes authentic.
