Obrazy ženství a mužství v ještědských románech Karolíny Světlé / Images of femininity and masculinity in Ještěd Novels of Karolína SvětláHolá, Petra January 2017 (has links)
The subject of this thesis (Images of femininity and masculinity in Ještěd novels by Karolína Světlá) is a gender analysis of selected prose of Karolína Světlá, focused specifically on the works such as Vesnický román, Kříž u potoka, Frantina, Kantůrčice and Nemodlenec. The theoretical part presents basic principles, approaches and methods of the feminist literary theory including concepts focused on analyses of power and domination out of which I mostly use the work by Pierre Bourdieu. The theoretical part also contains positioning the writer's work within the literary-historical context and introducing source texts. The core of the thesis is a gender analysis based on my interpretation of texts and the method of resistant reading that concentrates on specific gender aspects in the entire series of works - the subject of my interest is creating masculinity and femininity (including gender attributes and roles or myths and archetypes), narration of the story from a gender perspective, forms of motherhood and fatherhood, topics of power, violence and sexuality. Attention is also paid to the motives of a victim or romantic love. Not only was this part greatly inspired by the work of foreign authors (Bourdieu, Beauvoir, Pratt), but also by many Czech studies and books applying approaches of the...

Gender stereotypes in Tsitsi Dangarembga's Nervous conditions and Buchi Emecheta's The joys of motherhoodMohlamonyane, Ntala Norman January 2021 (has links)
Thesis (M. A. (English Studies)) -- University of Limpopo / The primary aim of this study is to examine gender stereotypes and their profound impact
on the socialisation of females and males. Further, it analyses the extent to which these
stereotypes inform the relations and interactions between males and females and their
general deportment. Nervous Conditions (1988) by Tsitsi Dangarembga and The Joys of
Motherhood (1994) by Buchi Emecheta are the selected primary fictional texts to be
textually examined and analysed. The study focuses on women oppression,
discrimination, misogyny, sexism, marginalisation and subjugation that flow from gender
socialisation. Furthermore, gender socialisation cultivates in the male a macho sense of
self-importance, privilege, entitlement, invincibility and substantive power. Lastly, the
study seeks to contribute to the body of knowledge about the topical debate on women
emancipation and gender equity transforming patriarchal societies.

THE CASE OF LIMBO: THE SEARCH FOR IDENTITY IN SYLVIA PLATH’S SHORT FICTION AND THE BELL JARLyons, Kristin 01 December 2020 (has links)
Though Sylvia Plath’s poems and novel undergo frequent scholarly research, her short fiction is often overlooked. Plath’s journals influenced her short fiction writing, and her stories reflected Plath’s lived experiences. Plath’s short fiction, like her other works, explore themes of identity and detachment. Each of her protagonists exist in a personal limbo, and they strive to find their identities and to fit the roles in which they occupy. This thesis focuses on “Mary Ventura and the Ninth Kingdom,” stories from Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams, and additional research from scholarly journals and biographies, with comparisons to identity struggles shown in The Bell Jar and The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath. I found the catalysts for their identity crises stem from observations surrounding femininity, societal roles, and psychological wellness. Furthermore, this research shows Plath’s subjective writing habits and highlights her protagonists’ commonalities throughout her writing career.

"Kvinnan som flera gånger utsetts till världens vackraste" : En text- och bildanalys om hur kvinnligt ideal framställs i svenska damtidningar. / "The woman who was voted the most beautiful woman in the world" : A textual and visual analysis of how the normative image of the woman is created in Swedish magazines.Högstedt, Moa, Gyllenhammar, Elise January 2022 (has links)
The aim of this study is to explore and discuss how media is describing the woman in Swedish magazines. We also explore how a normative image of the woman is created. We offer one possible explanation for how ideals of women can generate and mediate different ideas of femininity and therefore lead to inequality. The study is based on an analysis of articles published between 2018-2022 in Swedish women's magazines amelia, Femina, mama and tara. Using a qualitative research design by exploring both the text and pictures in the magazines we analyze how the ideal of the woman and norms of femininity can be embedded both in words and photos. The main categories that were identified are: motherhood, health-ideal, beauty-ideal and the general ideal of the woman. To analyze our material, theories and theoretical frameworks such as Agenda Setting Theory, Framing Theory, Respectability and Intersectionality have been used to analyze our data. The main conclusion of our analysis is that media plays an influential role in the construction of the ideal women. The woman is most often described as white, slim, well-dressed and successful. This stereotypic description of the woman is not consistent with the more diverse representation of the woman in society today. This therefore generates an inability due to, for example class and ethnicity, to live up to the ideals that media has constructed.

Det sitter i timret : Maskulinitetsnormer inom den svenska skogsbranschenJakobsson, Ester, Rickeberg, Anna January 2023 (has links)
This essay aims to investigate the meaning of masculinity norms within the forestry sector in Sweden, and how these norms affect the gender equality within the industry. A qualitative research method was applied to highlight and investigate the research aim and questions. Six semi-structured interviews were conducted and furthermore analyzed with a discursive analysis method and a gender theoretical perspective. This study is a continuation of and has its starting point, where the project Jämställdhet i skogsbranschen, implemented by Länsstyrelsen in Västernorrland and other actors, left off. The fourth aim of that project became an object of focus for us and this essay as a whole. The results of this study implied that there are several masculinity norms within the Swedish forestry sector and that the norms influence both men and women. A hegemonic masculinity within the industry became apparent that affected women as well as men. Finally, the gender equality work within the sector could be affected by masculinity norms, that could be considered to prohibit existing and ongoing gender equality work.

Stilleben inom Musikvideo : En semiotisk och ikonografisk analys om vad stilleben iYeules musikvideo Pretty Bones kommunicerar / Still life in Music Video : A semiotic and iconographic analysis of what still lifes inYeule's music video Pretty Bones communicatesMatsson, Mathilda January 2022 (has links)
My study contains a semiotic analysis of three screen captures of still lifes from the music video PrettyBones by the artist Yeule, directed by Joy 秀 Song. The music video depicts several scenes with inspiration from the Dutch great power era and it’s still life painting. The visual elements of the music video have a focus on the course of life and one's own mortality, themes that have long been addressed through still life painting. My study is based mainly on David Petit’s (1988) studies about the symbolism and meaning of 16th-17th century Flemish still life painting. The study also contains segments of Fanny Ambjörnsson’s (2011) studies about the color pink. The purpose of the study is to investigate what the still life communicates through the context of 16th-17th century Flemish iconography and through acontemporary semiotic reading. Results of the study shows that there are similarities between the themes that are present in the still life with contemporary objects and the more traditional still lifes. It also touches on morals and societal norms about feminine identity.

The Powerpuff Girls vs. Sailor Moon : En jämförelse av två animerade barnprograms underliggande diskurser / The Powerpuff Girls vs. Sailor MoonLörtscher, Yasmin January 2014 (has links)
This study is about underlying discourses of two tv-series for children from opposite parts of the globe. Focus lays on which morals and values adults choose to teach children through popular culture, even on an unaware basis and how does differ, or not, between different societies. The theoretical framework chosen for this study are semiotics in combination with the concept of the gaze by Laura Mulvey. Semiotics is the study of signs and their underlying meanings constructed by society. By studying popular culture with the tools provided by semiotic analysis it is possible to discouver underlying myths, social constructions of society, that are reproduced over and over again to remain alive. Mulveys theory of the gaze is helpfull in the process of decoding those constructions to discover the dominant partys and norms represented. In this particular study underlying structures such as patriarcal power relations, unequality between the representation of different ethnicities and the consistent presents of the male gaze where discovered. The conclusions made are that some social constructions are more global then others and that popular culture in a high degree mirrors societies norms, preferences and values.
