Cinematographic analysis of the construction of the main female character

This research analyzes the female main character of the film "Spirited Away" by the Japanese author, director and filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki, within the framework of cinema and its transcendence in art in the era of reproducibility, as warned by Walter Benjamin (1892-1940) with the turn that artistic expression underwent from producing an auratic aesthetic to one of spectacle along with the redefinition of a new visuality in globalization. Thus, this anime coming from a culture different and distant from ours, is understood as a new form of visual expression. Moreover, it is seen as an iconic work of an art that debates from tradition, global processes and from a protagonist femininity towards the changes of the contemporary world.
