Abstract
This text is brief explanatory analysis of four animated films in the series Shrek - Shrek (2001), Shrek 2 (2004), Shrek the third (2007), Shrek forever after (2010) - in order to describe and reflect on the processes of subjectivation that produce the Shrek character. The assumption is that the films in their educational capacity, offer and propose alternative subjectivation in addition to models and examples of ways of being, thinking and acting. It presents the idea that the ogre character undergoes a process of subjectivation, which makes it more or less standardised. To the subject viewer, child (or not), the Shrek series films offer an idea of humanization and conformation to the rules governing the use of sexuality socially. The processes that make the Shrek character normalized as well, and in some ways, humanized, are treated as exemplary and offer models of how to care of self.
