AB The study exploits the specific characteristics of animation as a marginal discourse in relation to the field of cinema. It adds the perspective of female authors to the marginal perspective, thus achieving dialogues between gender and animation studies. In this case, animation can serve as a tool for determining broader social processes, as a synecdochic image of the whole. Conversely, gender issues allow for a more detailed understanding of the institutional workings of animation as a craft and business sector.
