"Why do you always let people pick on you, man?" : En multimodal diskursanalys om framställningen av aggressivitet och femininitet hos svarta män i filmen Moonlight / "Why do you always let people pick on you, man?" : A multimodal discourse analysis about the presentation of aggressiveness and femininity regarding Black men in the film Moonlight

Barmano, Mattias, Elmi, Fatima January 2022 (has links)
Denna studie ämnar belysa hur svarta män framställs i film och vilka attityder dessa män har mot varandra. Uppsatsen undersöker hur aggressivitet och femininitet tar sig uttryck i den Oscarbelönade filmen Moonlight (2016) och vilka stereotyper som framkommer hos männen i filmen. Eftersom filmen behandlar homosexualitet i ett socioekonomiskt lågt område ämnar studien undersöka attityden gentemot homosexualitet och hur huvudkaraktären lever ett liv som homosexuell man. Teorier som används för att kunna undersöka aggressivitet och femininitet i filmen är heteronormativitet, representationsteori och stereotyper samt maskulinitet och hegemoni som hjälper oss titta djupare på aggressiviteten. Utifrån en multimodal diskursanalys har vi med hjälp av lexikala val, värdeladdade ord och paralingvistisk kommunikation studerat filmen och valt ut scener som belyser det som vi ämnar undersöka. Analysen visade att aggressivitet uttrycktes både verbalt och fysiskt, samt att det skedde en maktordning bland de manliga karaktärerna i filmen. De som faller innanför den heterosexuella ramen blir inte utsatta för samma våld och aggression som homosexuella män. Femininitet är ett genomgående tema i filmen som visade sig främst hos den homosexuella huvudkaraktären. Det syntes utifrån sårbarhet och att vara öppen med sina känslor. / This study aims to illustrate how Black men are depicted in film and what attitudes these men have towards each other. The study examines how aggressiveness and femininity is expressed in the Oscar awarded film Moonlight (2016) and what stereotypes that are emerging among the men in the film. Since the film includes homosexuality in a socio-economically low area, this study aims to look at attitudes towards homosexuality and how the main character is living a life as a homosexual man. Theories that have been used to examine aggressiveness and femininity are heteronormativity, representation theory and stereotypes as well as masculinity and hegemony that helps us look further into the aggressiveness. Based on a multimodal discourse analysis, we have used lexical choices, valued words, and paralinguistic communication to study the film and chose scenes that illustrate the aim of this study. The analysis showed that aggressiveness was expressed verbally and physically, and that there was a power structure among the male characters in the film. The ones falling within the heterosexual frame are not being exposed to the same amount of violence and aggression as the homosexual men. Femininity is a thoroughgoingly theme in the film and was shown mostly by the homosexual main character. It was shown by vulnerability and by expressing emotions.

Black Food Trucks Matter: A Qualitative Study Examining The (Mis)Representation, Underestimation, and Contribution of Black Entrepreneurs In The Food Truck Industry

Ariel D Smith (14223191) 11 August 2023 (has links)
<p>Food trucks have become increasingly popular over the last decade following the Great Recession of 2008. Scholars have begun to study the food truck phenomenon, its future projected trajectory, and even positioning it within social justice discourse along cultural lines; however, scholarship has yet to address the participation of Black entrepreneurs in the food truck industry.</p> <p><br></p> <p>The objective of this dissertation is to expand the perception of Black food entrepreneurs within the food truck industry by interrogating how Black food truck owners are misrepresented, under analyzed, and underestimated. Using a series of interdisciplinary qualitative methods including introspective analysis, thematic coding analysis, and case studies, I approach this objective by addressing three questions. First, I analyze movies and television to understand where Black-owned food trucks are represented in popular culture and how they are depicted. In doing so, we come to understand that Black business representation, specifically Black food truck representation consistently falls victim to negative stereotypes. These stereotypes can influence the extent to which Black food truck owners are taken seriously and seen as legitimate business leaders in their community. Second, I interview 16 Black food truck entrepreneurs to understand why the mobile food industry appealed to them and how it has become a platform for them to explore other opportunities. Finally, I review eight cities that have launched Black food truck festivals and parks within the last 6 years to gain an understanding of the collective power wielded by Black food truck owners and its impact Black communities. Moreover, this dissertation challenges the myth that collectivism does not exist among Black entrepreneurs and the Black community broadly.</p>
