I am white, therefore I am : A phenomenological study of whiteness as experienced by white women in relation to Others within a travel context

van Schaik, Valerie January 2022 (has links)
This thesis provides a complex understanding of the phenomenological experience of whiteness as a racial category. Based on theories of critical whiteness studies, intersectionality and (white) phenomenology, I conducted five semi-structured interviews with five white women about their understandings of their whiteness within a context of transnational travel. The interviews have been interpreted using thematic analysis, with the aim to show that whiteness is inherently relational and contextual, always in conjunction with Others and in interplay with the spatial context, while at the same time intrinsically related to other intersectional parts of the self. By making use of autoethnography as a methodology, my situated knowledge as a researcher was integrated within the entire thesis. The study has shown that whiteness never stands alone but is inherently relational, not only with racialized Others, but also with other intersections such as womanhood, which complexifies the experience and understanding of it. Moreover, whiteness is perceived as the most normalized standard from which everything different and other is measured by, while it serves as an invisible social category that can move through the world unnoticed. Consequently, the normality of whiteness creates a feeling of reassurance and comfort and thus keeps it in its place as the most normalized social category from which the world unfolds.

South African and Flemish soap opera : a critical whiteness studies perspective

Knoetze, Hannelie Marx 11 1900 (has links)
The main goal of this thesis was an investigation into the ways in which whiteness is constructed and positioned in the South African soap opera, 7de Laan, and the Flemish soap opera, Thuis, with the emphasis on the possible implications of these constructions for local as well as global discourses on whiteness in the media. In conjunction with the above, this thesis endeavoured to answer a number of subquestions relating to the origin and history of the construct of “whiteness” and Critical Whiteness Studies (CWS) as a theoretical approach and its relevance in the South African and Flemish contexts, specifically as it pertains to the analysis of mass media texts like 7de Laan and Thuis. It, moreover, sought to explore if and how whiteness functions as an organising principle in the narratives and representations of these soap operas with the emphasis on potential similarities, differences and the kinds of whiteness constructed in these texts. Finally, the goal was to draw conclusions on the possible implications of these differences and similarities in the wider context of the way in which whiteness functions in the media. To that end I conducted a controlled case comparison of a sample from these two community soap opera texts, which was informed by a literature review and deep description of each context as part of the qualitative approach I chose to take. Despite a number of similarities between the two contexts, they still differ significantly, and this afforded me an opportunity to highlight both the consistencies and particularities in the ideological patterning of representations of whiteness, across seemingly unrelated domains, to illustrate its pervasiveness. Added to the emergence of three shared rhetorical devices perpetuating whiteness in both texts, I was also able to draw conclusions about the unique way in which whiteness functions in 7de Laan in particular, since South Africa remains the primary context of the study. / Communication Science / D.

Feministische Mädchenarbeit

Fröhlich, Fabienne 17 January 2018 (has links)
Feministische Mädchenarbeit fungiert als selbstkritisches, pädagogisch-politisches Angebot, das der Jugendarbeit zugeordnet wird und aus historischer Perspektive einen starken Bezug zur Frauenbewegung aufweist. Ursprünglich als geschlechtshomogener Schutzraum gedacht, hat sich feministische Mädchenarbeit seit ihrer Entstehung Ende der 1970er Jahr durch die Rezeption (queer-)feministischer und rassismuskritischer Theorien bzw. Konzepte weiterentwickelt: entstanden sind Trans*-Räume und Empowermenträume sowie das Konzept der heteronormativitätskritischen Mädchen_arbeit.

Sigrid Hjerténs och Isaac Grünewalds strandbilder år 1917-1918. : En bildsemiotisk analys ur ett kritiskt vithetsperspektiv.

Kristensson, Maria January 2024 (has links)
Syftet med uppsatsen är att utforska en ofta förbisedd genre hos två av de första svenska modernisterna Sigrid Hjertén och Isaac Grünewald, nämligen de strandbilder konstnärsparet skapade i samband med sina sommarsemestrar i Danmark åren 1917–1918. Hur skildrar konstnärerna sitt bad och strandliv och avviker dessa bilder från konstnärernas övriga produktion från samma tidpunkt? Uppsatsens metod utgår från C.S. Peirces semiotiska begrepp ikon, index och symbol. Ett annat syfte är att ur ett kritiskt vithetsperspektiv studera om de valda verken, Blixten och Den gröna badvagnen av Isaac Grünewald samt Badscen och Komposition av Sigrid Hjertén, upprättar eller reproducerar vithet som norm? Resultatet visar att så sker, både i verk, titlar och texter. Resultatet visar även att strandbilderna följer samma mönster som konstnärernas övriga produktion. I uppsatsen presenteras en ny tolkning av symbolerna i vissa av Isaac Grünewalds verk mellan åren 1914–1919, baserad på inflytande från baltiska folksånger (daina) och det politiska läget i ett sönderfallande Tsarryssland. Inflytandet från läraren Henri Matisse samt konststilen expressionismen syns tydligt hos båda konstnärerna.
