Damiana Gibbons Pyles (Appalachian State University, USA)
DOI: 10.4018/978-1-6684-5394-0.ch005
Abstract
In this chapter, the author explores how transnational feminism is represented in two film texts: Turning Red and Embrace the Panda: The Making of Turning Red. These perspectives highlight the experiences of a Chinese Canadian teen as she comes of age, and how these experiences were created by four key women in the leadership team. Fiction signposts are used for framing the lessons that can be used in the classroom as well as key scenes from both films. Encouraging close reading along with keeping a multimodal journal would help students to develop an awareness of the struggles of specific teens as well as connecting to their own experiences.
