Knäpp din blus innan du dödar mig, tack : En studie om obehagskänslor och sexualiserade kvinnliga monster / Button up your blouse before you kill me, please : A study about feelings of discomfort and sexualized female monsters

Tammemägi, Mathilda January 2019 (has links)
Denna studie undersöker korrelationen mellan en ökad grad av sexualisering av kvinnliga monster och obehagskänslor. Artefakten som skapades för detta syfte bestod av fem versioner av en monsterdesign i olika grader av sexualisering. 16 personer deltog i studien och resultaten visar att obehagskänslor påverkas av en högre grad sexualisering, men det finns ingen påtaglig skillnad i hur de olika könen upplever ett sexualiserat kvinnligt monster. Undersökningen baseras på forskning kring monstruös kvinnlighet och dess plats i skräckgenren. Artefakten som skapades inspirerades bl.a. av Silent Hill 2 (Konami, 2001) och dess karaktärsdesign för dess kvinnliga monster. Denna undersökning kan användas i syfte av en större utredning gällande genus och hur de olika könen och olika sexualiteter uppfattar sexualiserade kvinnliga monster. De applicerade teorierna hade även kunnat användas för en undersökning om stigmatisering av mental sjukdom i skräckgenren.

Lovecrafts kvinnor : En undersökning av kvinnlig monstrositet i Howard Phillips Lovecrafts litteratur / Lovecraft’s women : A study of female monstrosity in Howard Phillips Lovecraft’s literature

Oskarson Kindstrand, Gro January 2014 (has links)
While the strategy of lending a voice to the monstrous is a well known aspect of Howard Phillips Lovecraft's works, the female monster is a notable exception to this case. In this thesis, I excavate a theory of female monstrosity through a reading of some of Lovecraft's most read stories and the agency of female characters that appears within. Comparing these female registers of monstrosity to their masculine counterpart, I develop a concept of female monstrosity manifested through categories of class, race and gender with the help of Judith Halberstams theories of monstrosity. Rather than treating these women as active characters, I argue that Lovecraft's inability to handle these monsters forces him to literally put them away – in attics, cellars, or boxes. These are the marginalized positions from which these women elaborate a monstrous form that transcends the boundaries of sex, gender, class and race. Here lurks a female monster, powerful, independent and evil, Lovecraft's treatment of which reveals his fear of its unfettered emergence. Thus Lovecraft’s narrative technique is broken by his own creation. Indeed, these women, in their reproductive capabilities and the monstrous motherhood they represent, are the true monsters of the Lovecraftian universe.
