This thesis tries to discuss the visual discourse in the representation of animation and its relationship with the subject who watches the animation. The narrative will be discussed from the viewpoints of Intertextuality and Wirkungsgeschichte, and its relationship with the visual narrative will be explored: the issue of watching between animation and the watching subject is opened up; the gaze of the desiring subject, or the watching subject, is focused; and what this desiring subject actually sees in the animation discourse is examined.
