L’emprise de l’être humain sur la nature dans les dessins animés peut nous amener a considérer la notre environnement comme ressource.

CONTROL

Welcome to LuNa’s “Emprise” section. Here, we explore human domination over nature in animated films and its impact on our perception of nature. Immerse yourself in this analysis and discover the subtleties of human control through the criteria of ownership, utilitarianism and violence. Listen to our podcast to find out more and deepen your understanding.

 

0 = nature completely depicted as human property
5 = nature not depicted as human property, unless that’s what the film is about.

Property :

Is nature shown as a territory to be owned, controlled or defended? Nature as property legitimizes man’s hold on territories, as if everything belonged to him.

 

0 = nature completely depicted as an exploitable resource
5 = nature not portrayed as an exploitable resource, unless that’s what the film is about.

Utilitarianism :

Is nature presented as a resource to be exploited for human needs? This criterion questions human control over nature, which is seen as a useful resource.

 

0 = human violence on defenseless animals trivialized, unless this is the purpose of the film.
5 = human violence on defenseless animals not trivialized, or even criticized.

Violence :

How is violence used to depict interactions with nature, especially with animals? Scenes of gratuitous beatings can legitimize this violence.
