Ei gostosa! Assédio de rua e interações no espaço público / Hey sexy! Street harassment and interactions in public spaces

Savio, Thaynã Davilla 21 March 2016 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2017-07-10T19:07:34Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissert Thayna Davilla Savio2.pdf: 2651873 bytes, checksum: e70439a3e1b991557cbb5fce33204228 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-03-21 / This dissertation s main objective is to analyze street harassment as a violation of social rules, and also its negative effects in the life of harassed women. Despite changes in relationships between men and women and the conquest rights directed to women, street harassment remains a common practice. Street harassment is studied from women s perspective as an undesirable interaction in public spaces, that shows the different ways men and women occupy this space. The argument presented is the glamorization of street harassment, the reinforcement of masculinity and the relationships between harasser and the harassed female that coexist with incresing critics from the media and from women. Street harassment is, therefore, analyzed as a tension between the reputed juridical equality and gender performativity, which is experimented through ambiguities. Synthetizing, street harassment is, at the same time, a violation of civil inattention rules e and an intensification of gender performativity. The data for the research was obtained through bibliographic sources, questionnaires applied in 97 students from a superior education institution and other sources obtained in the internet and social networks like facebook. / Esta dissertação tem como objetivo analisar o assédio de rua enquanto modalidade de violação das normas sociais, bem como seu efeito negativo na vida das mulheres assediadas. Em que se pese as mudanças nas relações entre homens e mulheres e a conquista de direitos específicos às mulheres, o assédio de rua permanece uma prática presente. O assédio de rua é estudado do ponto das mulheres como interação não desejada no espaço público, o que evidencia modos diferentes pelos quais homens e mulheres ocupam esse espaço. O argumento apresentado é a glamourização do assédio, o reforço da masculinidade e as relações entre o assediador e a mulher assediada na rua convivem com crescentes críticas da mídia e das mulheres. O assédio de rua é, então, analisado como uma tensão entre o suposto da igualdade jurídica e da performatividade de gênero, tensão experimentada por ambiguidades. Sintetizando, o assédio de rua é, ao mesmo tempo, uma violação das regras sociais da desatenção civil e uma intensificação da performatividade de gênero. Os dados para a pesquisa foram obtidos de fontes bibliográficas, questionários aplicados a 97 estudantes universitárias e outras fontes obtidas em sites da internet e redes sociais como o facebook.

Heroic Soldier-ism: Beautified Power Asymmetry

Noack, Vanessa January 2020 (has links)
The Swedish Armed Forces can be considered a hegemonic masculine organisation with deeply embedded patterns of patriarchy, as well as fratriarchy represented by notions of homogeneity and the male soldier. Women are highly underrepresented and face multiple double standards related to their performance of gender and more precisely performance of femininity. However, the Swedish Armed Forces claim to be an inclusive organisation and advertise this through different recruiting strategies, which display women in uniforms. This thesis uses the methodology of qualitative research by combining the methods of critical discourse analysis and critical visual analysis to analyse the representation and the performativity of gender in a recruiting advertisement for inclusivity by the Swedish Armed Forces. I argue that this advertisement led to a certain form of reproducing stereotypical notions of femininity by representing women who embody certain requirements connected to beauty standards. At the same time, notions of hegemonic masculinity and patriarchy are challenged through the representation of women in military uniforms.

It Shaves You Closer, So That You Can Get Closer To The Beauty Standard : En multimodal kritisk diskursanalys av Gillette Venus reklamfilmer / It Shaves You Closer, So That You Can Get Closer To The Beauty Standard : A multimodal critical discourse analysis of Gillette Venus commercials

Wahlqvist, Alicia January 2021 (has links)
Följande studie syftar till att kvalitativt undersöka reklamfilmer av varumärket Gillette Venus, genom en multimodal kritisk diskursanalys. Det valda materialet analyseras på två nivåer: denotation och konnotation. Syftet med studien är att diskursivt analysera hur kvinnors kroppsbehåring konstrueras diskursivt, samt om diskurserna har utvecklats med tiden. Avsikten med studien är att bidra med kunskap om hur kvinnors kroppsbehåring konstrueras i reklamfilmer och att belysa den bakomliggande ideologin bakom skildringen. Studien kommer att undersöka fyra reklamfilmer av Gillette Venus: "Gillette Venus Disposable Razor" (2005), "Venus Embrace" (2010), "#UseYourAnd" (2015) och "My Skin. My Way. Stories: Ofey” (2021). För att uppnå syftet med studien, använder analysen sig av det teoretiska ramverket av genusperformativitet, könsnormer och genus i reklam. Resultaten av studien visar att sättet som Gillette Venus konstruerar kvinnors kroppsbehåring har förändrats delvis till följd av förändringen från tredje vågen av feminism till fjärde vågen av feminism i början av 2010-talet. Utöver detta drar studien slutsatsen att Gillette Venus fortsätter att skildra en traditionell syn på kvinnors kroppshår, genom att de inte visar det eller nämner det i sina respektive reklamfilmer. Den skildrade kontextualiseringen av varför kvinnor bör raka sig förändras dock. Därför är den primära slutsatsen av studien att kvinnors kroppshår fortsätter att porträtteras i Gillette Venus reklamfilmer som något kvinnor måste bli av med, även om resonemanget varför förändras med tiden. / The following study aims to qualitatively examine commercials by the brand Gillette Venus, through a multimodal critical discourse analysis. The chosen material is analysed on two levels: denotation and connotation. The purpose of the study is to discursively analyse how women's body hair is discursively constructed and if the discourses have evolved over time. The intention of the study is to contribute with knowledge regarding how women’s body hair is portrayed in commercials and highlight the underlying ideology behind the portrayal. The study will examine four commercials by Gillette Venus: “Gillette Venus Disposable Razor” (2005), “Venus Embrace” (2010), “#UseYourAnd” (2015) and “My Skin. My Way. Stories: Ofey” (2021). In order to achieve the purpose of the study, the analysis uses the theoretical framework of gender performativity, gender norms and gender in advertising. The results of the study show that the way in which Gillette Venus constructs women's body hair has changed partly, as a result of the change from third wave feminism to the fourth wave of feminism in the early 2010s. Furthermore, the study also concludes that Gillette Venus continues to portray a traditional view on women's body hair, in that they do not show it nor mention it in their respective commercials. However, the portrayed contextualisation as to why women should shave does change. Thus, the prominent conclusion of the study is that women’s body hair continues to be portrayed in Gillette Venus commercials as something women must get rid of, although the reasoning behind it does change with time.

Performativity and Domestic Fiction in Antebellum America: The Power Dynamics of Class and Gender Performance

Hedigan, Blair 01 January 2017 (has links)
This thesis analyzes the role of performativity within the domestic novel during antebellum America; specifically, the ways in which E.D.E.N. Southworth’s The Hidden Hand and Louisa May Alcott’s Behind a Mask subverted cultural and societal norms by exploring the performative nature of class and gender. Through their respective protagonists, the two authors sought to question the power dynamics of an overwhelmingly patriarchal society. By granting their protagonists agency through performance, Southworth and Alcott explored the ways in which women might alter existing power structures to reject the restrictions gender essentialism placed upon antebellum women, and to advocate for women’s rights, such as economic stability and class mobility.

Sémioprostor Self v diskurzu webových stránek SuicideGirls.com a facebookové skupiny Suicide Girls Czech / Semiospace of self in discourse of webpage suicidegirls.com and facebook community suicide girls czech

Vávra, Jan January 2014 (has links)
The erotic website SuicideGirls.com can be viewed in the context of striptease culture. The term was coined by the sociologist Brian McNair in 2002 in order to describe the tendency to openly theme the human sexuality within media content. Simultaneously with the metaphorical and literal exposing, the intimacy is being constructed within the discourse as an expression of true self and, as Feona Attwood develops McNair's claims speaking about sexualization of culture, the representation becomes the selfrepresentation. The SuicideGirls present themselves especially on soft-pornographic photographs through a significant alternative stylization, mostly tattoos and piercing. While for example Megan Jean Harlow (2009), a feminist critique representative, considers the style-creating elements of tattoo as an expression of distinctive practices, according to Shoshana Magnet (2007) the soft-pornographic mode of representation reduces the distinctiveness of SuicideGirls to a certain form of standard pornography. The semiotic and psychoanalytical interpretation of SuicideGirls.com focuses on softpornographic symbolic of the distinctiveness perceived by the community. Jacques Lacan's mirror stage concept explains the principles of subject's identification with his or her specular image. It is also important to...

From Brecht to Butler: an Analysis of Dirty Grrrls

Lugo, Joanna 08 1900 (has links)
“From Brecht to Butler: An Analysis of Dirty Grrrls” is a production centered thesis focusing on the image of the mudflap girl. The study examines the graduate production Dirty Grrrls as a form of praxis intersecting the mudflap girl, the theory of gender performativity, and Brechtian methodology. As a common yet unexplored symbol of hypersexual visual culture in U.S. American society, the mudflap girl acts as a relevant subject matter for both the performance and written portion of the study. Through the production, mudflap girl materializes at the meeting point of the terms performance and performativity. The written portion of this project examines this intersection and discusses the productive cultural work accomplished on the page and on the stage via live embodiment of performativity.

Maskulinitet och femininitet som hinder och möjlighet : en kvalitativ studie av genus i skolkuratorns vardag

Lindberg, Per January 2014 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to illuminate the everyday work of school counsellors in the City of Stockholm with a gender perspective by studying the school counsellors ́ talk about masculinity and femininity. The aim was to reach an understanding of how parts of the counsellors everyday work are influenced by gender through the perspective of the school counsellor. The study was conducted using qualitative methods. Six school counsellors, five woman and one man, were interviewed. An interview method called thematically open interview was used to identify themes regarding aspects of gender in the school counsellors ́ everyday work. The theoretical perspectives that were applied during analysis were Judith Butlers ́ theory on gender performativity and Mimi Shippers ́ theory on gender hegemony. A qualitative data analysis was conducted using hermeneutic principles for interpretation. The results show that the school counsellors gave femininity and masculinity three different meanings, that gender influenced varying aspects of the counsellors work including the interaction with teachers, pupils, parents and principal and that indications of gender hegemony could be found in the stories told by four of the school counsellors. Further some school counsellors experienced gender as an obstacle to a larger extent than others. / Syftet med denna studie var att belysa skolkuratorer i Stockholm stads vardagliga arbete ur ett genusperspektiv genom att studera hur skolkuratorer talar om maskulinitet och femininitet. Målet var att nå kunskap om hur delar av skolkuratorernas vardagliga arbete influeras av genus ur skolkuratorns perspektiv. För att genomföra studien användes kvalitativa metoder. Sex kuratorer intervjuades, fem kvinnor och en man. En Intervjumetod kallad tematiskt öppen intervju användes för att identifiera teman beträffande olika aspekter av genus i skolkuratorernas vardagliga arbete. Under analysen tillämpades Judith Butlers ́ teori om genusperformativitet och Mimi Schippers ́ teori om könshegemoni. En kvalitativ dataanalys genomfördes med hjälp av hermeneutiska tolkningsprinciper. Studiens resultat visar att skolkuratorerna gav femininitet och maskulinitet tre skilda betydelser, att genus influerade olika aspekter av skolkuratorernas arbete inklusive deras interaktion med elever, lärare, föräldrar och rektorer och att det är går att se tecken som tyder på förekomsten av könshegemoni i fyra kuratorers berättelser. Vidare upplevde vissa kuratorer i högre grad än andra kuratorer att genus utgjorde ett hinder i det vardagliga arbetet.

Performance maskulinity v prostředí českého extrémního metalu / The Performance of Masculinity in the Milieu of Czech Extreme Metal

Hradecká, Anna Marie January 2019 (has links)
Using a method of reflexive ethnography, this thesis deals with a question of masculinity performace in the Czech extreme metal milieu (to be specific I am concerned with the brutal death metal and related sub-genres). Participants of the brutal death metal subculture either in the position of performers or audience are with a very few exceptions men. Brutality, harshness, extremeness and other values are the main aesthetic criteria, which - as we can observe while doing the research - the participants connect with a coherent collection of ideas about a certain ideal of dominant manhood. To achieve these values to the greatest extent possible the musicians use particular musical features and topics of the compositions; and so does both the musicians and the audience via their visual image, with using specific kind of behaviour and having fixed movements and dancing during the music production. On the basis of an analysis of these values and means of their manifestation I am concerned with the question of what specific characteristics the masculine identity, which is performed in the given subculture, has. My research data show that these are: 1) mutual affinity with the other participants, 2) power as an ability of an aggressive attack as well as one's own endurance, and 3) coarseness, lack of...
