101	The Castle/Nikki Heat Phenomenon: A Detailed Examination of Female Representation in Entertainment Media Skinner, Katharine Virginia 12 1900 (has links) As entertainment reflects a culture's ideology, it is important for researchers to study its messages and subsequently its potential meanings. Entertainment has the power to inform and persuade, creating models for behavior with which the public interacts. The entertainment texts for the purpose of this study are the Castle television series and the Nikki Heat novels. Together, they create a unique multi-layer fictional world. By using postmodern, feminist, communication, and entertainment theories, the results of this study provide a tightly focused lens which views a narrow aspect of entertainment media. Each text was thoroughly examined using textual analysis, Feminist Poststructuralist Discourse Analysis, and conversation analysis. Contrary to expectations, the results indicated that the Castle and Nikki Heat texts support hegemonic ideology, particularly through the use of exaggerated stereotypes, strict gender roles, imagery, and narrative choices that help perpetuate rape culture. The discussion outlines how these results can be interpreted through the dominant messages presented in the texts. This research is intended to serve as a foundation for future research regarding entertainment media.

104	Plaisir narratif et cinéma féministe : comment la recherche-création permet-elle de bouleverser les cadres d’écriture scénaristique Ahasniou, Zakia 08 1900 (has links) Mémoire en recherche-création. / Ce mémoire de recherche-création pose la question de la possibilité d’écrire un scénario de film de fiction narratif féministe. Une position vastement débattue dans la littérature féministe sur le cinéma suggère que le cinéma classique dit mainstream ne peut être investi d’une posture féministe puisque le langage cinématographique qui lui est inhérent participe à l’idéologie patriarcale dominante et réifie les personnages féminins comme objet passif du désir du masculin, figure active dans la narration. Mais qu’en est-il du scénario? La réflexion qui anime ce mémoire interroge le développement du scénario dans le discours et la figure négligée par l’histoire du cinéma (Francke 1994, 3) de la scénariste, puis les fondements de la narration et leur participation à l’idéologie dominante. Finalement, cette réflexion est accompagnée d’un scénario de film de fiction de long-métrage narratif dans lequel une tentative d’inscrire une subjectivité féminine se tisse grâce à une notion de désidentification qui s’avère intrinsèque à certains outils de l’objet de préproduction. La recherche informe la création alors que la création dépasse son cadre formel pour s’immiscer et tenter de régner dans la recherche. / This research-creation thesis asks the question of the possibility of writing a feminist narrative fiction film script. A widely debated position in feminist film literature suggests that mainstream cinema cannot be invested with a feminist posture since its inherent cinematic language participates in the dominant patriarchal ideology and reifies female characters as passive objects of desire of the male, active figure in the narrative. But what about the screenplay? The reflection that drives this thesis questions the development of the screenplay in discourse and cinema’s history neglected figure (Francke 1994, 3) of the woman screenwriter, followed by the foundations of narrativity and their participation in the dominant ideology. Finally, this reflection is accompanied by a narrative feature film script in which an attempt to inscribe a female subjectivity is woven through a notion of disidentification that proves intrinsic to certain tools of the pre-production object. The research informs the creation while the creation exceeds its formal framework to interfere and try to reign over the research.

105	My Burning Glances : The Male and queer gaze in three short stories by Edgar Allan Poe / My Burning Glances : Male och queer gaze i tre noveller av Edgar Allan Poe Faxén Sporrong, Karin January 2024 (has links) The purpose of this essay is to show the narrator’s use of the male and the queer gaze in three short stories by Edgar Allan Poe: “Berenice: A Tale” (1835), “The Man that was Used Up: A Tale of the Late Bugaboo and Kickapoo Campaign” (1839) and ”The Man of the Crowd” (1845). Through close reading of the stories, I show how the different gazes work, how they are used in the stories and what they lead to. I relate how the visual perspectives function to how narrative development in the stories depend on the gaze, suggesting that whereas the male gaze in the stories by Poe aids in creating violence and misogyny; the queer gaze on the other hand helps in creating alternative worlds, governed by curiosity, empathy and possibility. / Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att lyfta fram berättarens användning av the male och the queer gaze i tre noveller av Edgar Allan Poe: ”Berenice” (1835), ”Den förbrukade mannen” (1839) och ”Mannen i mängden” (1845). Med hjälp av närläsning belyser jag hur berättelsens utveckling och narrativ påverkas av perspektiven och dessa skilda sätt att se. Jag föreslår att medan the male gaze hos Poe bidrar till att skapa mörka och destruktiva teman, där våld och misogyni är framträdande element, the queer gaze finns konstant närvarande, skapande alternativa sätt att existera i en värld präglad av nyfikenhet, empati och möjlighet.

106	Homoerotisk sensibilitet : Byggandet av homosexuell identitet genom konsthistorien / Homoerotic Sensibility : The Construction of Homosexual Identity Throughout the History of Art Varnauskas, Jacob January 2020 (has links) The question of homoerotic sensibility is, in the purpose of this thesis, a matter of visual language connected to the portrayal of male bodies. By identifying this sensibility throughout the western art canon the essay seeks to understand its origins, development and function in relation to expressions of power. With the introduction of theorists such as Alois Riegl, Laura Mulvey, Abigail Solomon-Godeau and Raewyn Connell, the aim is to deconstruct homosexual masculinity. Adapting formal analysis and parts of visual semiotics, the focus lies on the visual expression of power through the homoerotic gaze, and asks what consequences it has in forming homosexual identity. Greek antiquity is home not only to the ideals that foster western art history, but is also where we find early examples of same-sex affection being portrayed in the arts. Hence classical antiquity is so important for the homoerotic: whenever the classical language of style is popular throughout history, we are sure to find homoerotic sensibility. For reasons mentioned, the main periods analyzed are the Italian Renaissance, the French Neoclassicism and then, naturally the late 20th century onwards as this is the period of gay liberation and modern homosexual identity. By identifying classical acceptance of homosexual relations only in the form of a clear social hierarchy, we soon discover how homosexuality has appropriated the idea of binary difference within its masculinity throughout history. Accepting relationships only between erastes and eromenos, or man and ephebe, homosexuality is forced to exist only on the terms of difference of power. With classical ideals, these tendencies are recurring in the visual representation of male homosexuality, and becomes a big part of the liberation and forming of a modern identity in the late twentieth century. As a result of objectification of the male body, in combination with idealized and sexualized power, modern gay culture has in many ways embraced a destructive culture shaped by misogynist ideas of hegemonic culture, where sexual violence exists, but is not spoken of. art history homoerotic art homoerotic painting homoerotic photography homoerotic gaze male gaze power relations antiquity identity queer theory masculinity gay culture sexuality homosexuality male representation construction body bodies visual semiotics gender gender studies Renaissance Neoclassicism Postmodernism Michelangelo di Buonarotti Ganymede Wolfgang Tillmans Paul Cadmus Tom of Finland Jacques-Louis David Merry-Joseph Blondel Michael Leonard konsthistoria konstvetenskap homoerotisk konst homoerotiskt måleri homoerotiskt fotografi homoerotik homoerotisk blick manlig blick maktförhållanden antiken identitet queerteori manlighetsforskning maskulinitet maskulinitetsteori gay kultur bög kultur sexualitet homosexualitet manlig representation konstruktion konstruktivism kropp kroppar visuell semiotik semiotik genus kön genusvetenskap renässans nyklassicism postmodernism Humanities and the Arts Humaniora och konst Art History Konstvetenskap
107	La représentation de la violence faite aux femmes dans 'Un dimanche à la piscine à Kigali' de Gil Courtemanche et 'Je m’appelle Bosnia' de Madeleine Gagnon Thach, Thida January 2014 (has links) La violence faite aux femmes est une réalité encore très présente, surtout dans les sociétés patriarcales, même après des décennies de lutte féministe. C’est aussi un thème privilégié en littérature. La présente thèse propose justement une analyse de ce thème à travers deux romans assez récents qui mettent tous deux de l’avant des aspects particuliers de la question : Un dimanche à la piscine à Kigali de Gil Courtemanche et Je m’appelle Bosnia de Madeleine Gagnon. Nous tenterons de cerner les différentes formes de violences à l’œuvre dans les deux narrations : la violence faite aux filles, celle faite aux femmes, et enfin la violence spécifique qu’engendrent les conflits armés avec le viol comme arme de guerre. Nous proposerons une analyse intersectionnelle de ces formes de violences afin de mesurer les représentations et les répercussions des notions de classe et de race eu égard aux toiles de fond différentes des deux romans : le génocide chez Courtemanche, le nettoyage ethnique chez Gagnon. Nous aborderons aussi les narrations sous l’angle de l’agentivité. Dans des sociétés fondamentalement patriarcales, quel pouvoir peuvent espérer avoir les personnages féminins sur leur destin personnel et collectif? Y a-t-il pour ces femmes fictives des stratégies possibles pour atteindre une liberté d’action, si mince soit-elle?
