dc.description.abstractThis thesis explores the potential of animation as a medium for investigating conventions and constructions of storytelling. Through an intersectional analysis of the work of female auteur animators and the genre of memoir, animated film and its production serve as a method for radical and subversive storytelling. The project combines traditional academic research and the investigation of production and critique to begin a discourse surrounding animated narratives which illuminate women’s experiences and personal narratives. It also investigates my short film Mark through a critique which inspects my personal influences, goals, and techniques as a product and synthesis of stylistic conventions of animation and graphic narrative. Concepts of self and creation are treated both personally and critically to address the effects of the discrimination of the personal narratives and creative practices of women within the industry, and a reflection of my own practice serves to examine the process of animating as inherently interdisciplinary.en_US
