چکیده

انیمیشن‌ می‌تواند با خلق جهان‌هایی زنده یا تخیلی پیش‌تصورات اجتماعی را به چالش بکشد یا تقویت کند. این مقاله، با رویکردی کیفی و با بهره‌گیری از منابع کتابخانه‌ای، پیش‌تصورات اجتماعیِ مربوط به معلولیت، و نحوه‌ی بازنمایی آن در فیلم‌های انیمیشن را بررسی می‌کند. در این مسیر، نحوه‌ی بازنماییِ معلولیت به‌عنوان نمادی از اختلال هویت در فیلم «من بدنم را گم کردم» ساخته‌ی جرمی کلاپین با استفاده از روش تحلیلی و به کمکِ مفاهیم مرتبط با معلولیت از منظرِ مدل اجتماعیِ معلولیت مایک الیور مطالعه و تحلیل شده، همچنین رابطه‌ی بین جسمیت و هویت مورد کاوش قرار گرفته است. نتایج حاصل از بررسی‌ها نشان می‌دهد، رابطه‌ی میان فرم بدن و هویت با ادراکات و نگرش‌های اجتماعی نسبت به ناتوانی درهم‌تنیده است. همچنان که در بررسی این رابطه در انیمیشنِ «من بدنم را گم کردم» نیز ملاحظه می‌شود که معلول شدنِ جسمی شخصیت اصلی داستان باعث ایجاد هویتی جدید در او می‌شود؛ هویتی که الزاماً خدشه‌دار شده و منفی نیست، بلکه چیزی کاملاً متفاوت از زمانی است که بدن او کامل و یکپارچه بود. جدا شدن بخشی از جسم او و سپس ادامه یافتن زندگی بدون آن، به وی نشان می‌دهد که می‌تواند گذشته را رها کند و مانند دست قطع‌شده، چیزی جدا از موجودیت پدر ومادرش باشد.

چکیده [English]

The art of animation holds immense power. It has the ability to craft fantastical worlds and has been a powerful tool for storytelling since the dawn of film and animation. The depiction of characters and their physical forms has been a crucial aspect of storytelling, and animated works have introduced new concepts and ideas to challenge societal norms and affirm them. One such concept that has recently been explored in animated media is disability as a cultural concept. The purpose of this study is to explore the representation of disability in animated media in-depth, unraveling the multiple layers and intricate dimensions associated with such portrayals. In this article, we delve into the portrayal of disability as a representation of identity disorder in the film "I Lost My Body". We examine the correlation between one's physicality and their sense of self, with our main inquiry focused on how the relationship between body form and function intertwines with identity and how the animated feature "I Lost My Body" depicts this connection. There are two models for analyzing disability: medical and social. In the medical model, disability is seen as an individual problem that requires medical intervention. Here, we utilize Mike Oliver's social model of disability and examine characters in feature films to acquire valuable insights into the intricate interplay among corporeality, identity, and body representation. Mike Oliver's social model of disability can provide a useful framework. This model posits that social barriers and exclusion are what create disability rather than any inherent physical or mental impairment. By applying this model to the protagonist's disability in the film "I Lost My Body," we can assess whether the movie addresses the connection between identity and physicality. Through this lens, we can examine how disability is portrayed and whether the film challenges societal stereotypes surrounding disability. Upon analyzing the film, it becomes apparent that Naoufel's physical disability gave rise to a unique identity for him. This identity is not characterized by damage or negativity, but rather by a stark contrast to the completeness and integration that his body once enjoyed. By living without an important and useful part of himself, Naoufel demonstrated a natural ability to move on from the past and embrace a separate existence, detached from his parents' influence. Our examination of animated films highlights the impact that body perception can have on one's identity and actions. Through animation, creators have the ability to explore mental landscapes that challenge societal norms regarding physical appearance. By showcasing diverse body types, filmmakers encourage viewers to question their preconceived notions of beauty and embrace individuality. This article sheds light on how animated characters' physical appearance and abilities are critical to how they are perceived and accepted within their respective worlds. Additionally, we aim to address the passive portrayal of disabled characters in animation and instead, represent them as a normal part of society. Through our analysis, we uncover stereotypes surrounding disability in animated media, and we hope to encourage more nuanced and varied representation of disability in the future.
