This paper will examine, how queer is represented in the animated tv-serie She-Ra and the princesses of powerfrom 2018-2020. To understand this work, the paper will define representation, gender and queer, and examine the visual and narrative elements in the tv-serie. Through a visual analysis, the paper can understand if the serie represent queer values. Then the paper will look at some characters from the serie, to see if their visual design and the narrative structure reflects queer characteristics. This means the paper will define what are queer values and how is it shown in the characters of the show. It will be supplied with theory about queer and gender, for examples Raewyn Connell and Stuart Hall. The theory will supply characteristics, which have defined the social norms about genders through history. This paper concludes that the tv-serie reflects queer values through it’s visual and narrative structure. The characters have queer personalities. I need this paper with a discussion of the effects of queer representation and other ways to look at the serie from a perspective of gender.
