Queen Marika, the Eternal
Anti-heroines have become prominent in popular culture, yet their presence in video games remains underexplored.

Despite Eva's decl…

The aim of the present study is to analyse the media representation of gender dysphoria in trans* people in two popular films – The Danish Girl and Girl . Specifically, we focus on the role of genitalia in media representation of the trans* experience through the lens of phallocentrism. In the case of Lili and Lara, the trans* female protagonists of the chosen films, their trans* experience is, as we argue, reduced to their relationship towards t…
