20.500.12556/DKUM-95831 Reprezentacija žensk v igri Elden Ring magistrsko delo The representation of women in Elden Ring Spol je ključen dejavnik človekovega življenja, ki preko socializacije oblikuje posameznikov razvoj. Pomembno vlogo zaznamuje tudi v videoigrah, ki ustvarjajo prostor za širjenje stereotipizacije spola. Magistrska naloga obravnava reprezentacijo ženskih likov v igri Elden Ring. Vzorec je vključeval 120 likov, ki je bil analiziran preko analize vsebine, kasneje pa smo posebno pozornost namenili 14 ženskim likom. Zanimalo nas je, kako je v igri spol reprezentiran, kakšna sta zastopanost in narava upodobitve ženskih likov ter kako se le-ti razlikujejo od moških glede na število, narativno pomembnost in vedenjske značilnosti. Preko kvalitativne analize smo pogledali tudi, katere osebnostne in vedenjske lastnosti izražajo ženski liki ter v kolikšni meri le-ti reproducirajo ali subvertirajo tradicionalne spolne stereotipe in vloge. Analiza je pokazala, da je spol v Elden Ringu večinoma predstavljen implicitno ter na igralno izkušnjo neposredno ne vpliva. Moški liki so številčno prevladujoči in pogosto nečloveški, ženski pa večinoma človeški in lepi, pri čemer je njihova reprezentacija ambivalentna, saj združuje vplivnost z idealizirano ali tragično podobo. Kljub manjši zastopanosti so ženske pogosto umeščene na vplivne položaje s pomembnimi narativnimi vlogami. Prikazane so večdimenzionalno, z empatičnostjo, odločnostjo in samozavestno komunikacijo, redkeje pa izkazujejo agresivnost. Njihova moč se kaže skozi vodstvo, govor in zaščitništvo, dodatno pa liki niso seksualizirani. Elden Ring tako deloma reproducira tradicionalne spolne vzorce, a hkrati subvertira stereotipe ter ponuja kompleksen in sodoben prikaz ženskih likov. Gender is a key factor in human life, shaping an individual's development through socialization. It also plays an important role in video games, which create a space for the spread of gender stereotyping. The master's thesis examines the representation of female characters in the game Elden Ring. The sample included 120 characters, which were analysed through content analysis, with particular attention later focused on 14 female characters. We were interested in how gender is represented in the game, the representation and nature of female characters, and how they differ from male characters in terms of number, narrative importance, and behavioural characteristics. Through qualitative analysis, we also examined which personality and behavioural attributes female characters express, and to what extent they reproduce or subvert traditional gender stereotypes and roles. The analysis showed that gender in Elden Ring is mostly presented implicitly and does not directly influence the gameplay experience. Male characters are numerically dominant and often non-human, while female characters are mostly human and physically attractive, with their representation being ambivalent, as it combines influence with an idealized or tragic image. Despite their smaller representation, women are often placed in influential positions with important narrative roles. They are depicted as multidimensional, showing empathy, determination and confident communication, while rarely displaying aggression. Their power is expressed through leadership, speech, and protectiveness, and they are notably not sexualized. Thus, Elden Ring partly reproduces traditional gender patterns but simultaneously subverts stereotypes and offers a complex and contemporary depiction of female characters.
