Tough Guys Don't Cry : en diskursiv och semiotisk medieanalys av gråt och maskulinitet

Steen, Therese January 2010 (has links)
My intention with this essay has been to examine how men’s tears are portrayed in three chosen films and what their crying does to their masculinity. In my analysis I have used the concept of hegemonic masculinity. I have worked from the assumption that in our culture men’s crying is problematic in some sense. By using both a semiotic and a discursive method of analysis I have investigated why and how these men are crying, and I have mapped out the similarities and differences between the three films. My conclusion is that the effect on the crying man’s masculinity is largely dependant on the degree of his previous fulfillment of hegemonic masculinity.

"Lojala fruar" och "Harem masters" : En kvalitativ undersökning om hur djur representeras i naturfilm

Samre, Marie-Christine January 2017 (has links)
For many of us living in the West, wildlife films may be the primary source to watch and learn about the lives of animals like lions, monkeys, and other” far of reach” animals. But how much of what we see in wildlife films is really true? Does wildlife film fall under documentary or does it fall under the category fiction? And how is the answer to this question relevant for gender studies as a scientific field? The purpose of this essay is to investigate the way in which gender is being represented in wildlife films from a constructivist perspective. The essay is based on two wildlife films from different production companies: BBC and National Geographic. With the support of previous research by Hillevi Ganetz and Malin Ah-King, I conclude that the way animals are being represented in wildlife films shows connections to the Victorian age regarding ideas of gender, and even Darwinism when it comes to sexual reproduction.The result of the study indicates that the way in which animals are being represented in wildlife films is very relevant for how we understand gender and sexuality in modern society.
