Female representation across mythologies

M. Janickyj, P. MacCarron, J. Yose, R. Kenna

AI总结:

本研究通过网络科学视角分析神话与虚构叙事角色网络的性别属性,揭示了不同叙事中女性表征水平的差异及对重要女性角色的重视程度。

摘要:

历史上,社会群体一直被研究,以了解不同结构如何影响其中成员。随之而来的是对虚构和神话作品中社会群体的研究兴趣。过去十年中,这些社会群体通过网络科学的视角得到研究,实现了这些故事间新层次的比较。我们运用该方法聚焦这些网络中角色的属性,特别是性别。借此,我们考察了不同叙事及其所基于的社会中的女性群体是如何被描绘的。我们发现,尽管不存在同源叙事具有相似表征水平的趋势,但某些叙事明显优于其他叙事。我们还观察了哪些叙事总体上优先考虑重要女性角色,哪些则不然。

英文摘要:

Social groups have been studied throughout history to understand how different configurations impact those within them. Along with this came the interest in investigating social groups of both fictional and mythological works. Over the last decade these social groups have been studied through the lens of network science allowing for a new level of comparison between these stories. We use this approach to focus on the attributes of the characters within these networks, specifically looking at their gender. With this we review how the female populations within various narratives and to some extent the societies they are based in are portrayed. Through this we find that although there is not a trend of all narratives of the same origin having similar levels of representation some are noticeably better than others. We also observe which narratives overall prioritise important female characters and which do not.
