Summary note
'Identity in Animation' uncovers the meaning behind some of the most influential characters in the history of animation and questions their unique sense of who they are and how they are formed. Jane Batkin explores how identity politics shape the inner psychology of the character and their exterior motivation, often buoyed along by their questioning of 'place' and 'belonging' and driven by issues of self, difference, gender and the body. Through this, Batkin illustrates and questions the construction of stereotypes as well as unconventional representations within American, European and Eastern animation.
