A representatividade feminina através do figurino da personagem Vi na série animada Arcane

Abstract

This project proposes an analysis of character costumes in two different digital media: game vs. series show, taking into consideration the current moment of media expansion and technological advances in the game industry. Being aware of the constant problems in this digital environment, such as the hypersexualization of female characters' costumes, this project aims to understand which criteria move this reproduction of stereotypes forward. In addition, it aims to comprehend questions about the creation of characters in games, as well as their clothing. The character researched in the project comes originally from the game League of Legends, known worldwide for its super productions in the field. The public's perception of the character's look presented in the Arcane series is taken into account in parallel with the theoretical basis. The differences in these two versions are investigated, presented through images for direct comparison of the character's clothing, also counting on the online data collection instrument for further investigation and synthesis of results
