Var är mensen? En kvalitativ analys om hur designval formger menstruation

Bech, Cornelia January 2018 (has links)
Denna uppsats undersöker hur menstruation visuellt framställs genom fyra förpackningar till menskoppar. Undersökningen sker genom en visuell analys där de meningsbärande visuella attributen i förpackningarna identifieras. Detta följs upp med en diskursanalys där de visuella attributen sätts i en större kontext, där de blir objekt för kritisk granskning i förhållande till teori om representation, diskurs, genus, förpackningsdesign och relaterad forskning om menstruation. Resultatet visar att förpackningarna framställer menstruation som en biologisk företeelse, men som samtidigt är ohygienisk. Menstruation framställs också till att associeras med den biologiska kvinnan och förpackningarna upprätthåller således den konventionella uppdelningen kvinna/man. Undersökningen ämnar belysa hur grafisk design kan konstruera och upprätthålla konventioner kring menstruation genom förpackningsdesign.

Menskopp - det hållbara valet. Att skapa positiva associationer till ett mer hållbart mensskydd genom infografik / The importance of the menstrual cup - Creating positive associations for a more sustainable sanitary protection through infographic

Hvirfvel, Caroline, Vary, Boglarka January 2019 (has links)
Den här uppsatsen undersöker hur positiva associationer till menskopp kan skapas genom informationsgrafik. Målet är att uppmuntra menstruerande som är mellan 19-30 år till ett mer medvetet val av mensskydd. Informationsgrafik är att visuellt presentera information på ett enkelt sätt, vilket behövs för att nå ut till en målgrupp som lever i en digitaliserad värld full med intryck. Genom en kommunikationsanalys och webbenkät togs de viktigaste aspekterna fram. Dessa var att presentera menskoppen i samband med hållbarhet och att motverka föreställd krånglighet gällande användning av menskopp. Dessa aspekter låg till grund för designprocessen. Genom en fokusgruppintervju kunde vidare designbeslut tas och fokus ändrades till att endast arbeta med hållbarhetsaspekten som ansågs vara den viktigaste. Värdering av en slutgiltig design gjordes genom tio semistrukturerade intervjuer. Utifrån det konstaterades att layouten bör vara enkel med tydliga grupperingar och kontrast genom färg och form kan leda läsaren genom designen. Men det viktigaste för att skapa positiva associationer till menskoppen är att förmedla de fördelar som gör den till ett hållbart alternativ.

Menstrual cups - a sustainable way to achieve economic benefits in Kenya : How to empower women in a society with only small measures / Menskoppar - ett hållbart sätt att uppnå ekonomisk lönsamhet i Kenya : Att stärka kvinnor i ett samhälle med enbart små medel

Baars, Cajsa, Tapper, Josefine January 2017 (has links)
This bachelor thesis is based on a field study conducted in Nairobi, Kenya, and intends to elucidate the systematic crimes against humanity that the inability to handle menstruation properly causes every day. Women who live under poor circumstances and lack access to basic needs, such as sanitary facilities and running water are the ones who suffer the most. Menstruating women are victims of not only physical and mental abuse, but also the stigma and neglect pervading the subject. This leads to the exclusion of women, both in school and at work, which in turn causes negative economic effects for the whole society. Besides elucidating the substantial economic and health consequences that menstruation can result in, the purpose of the thesis is to examine the market conditions in Nairobi and suggest sustainable solutions for menstrual cups. The menstrual cup is a durable product that might improve the situation for both women and the society, because of its suitable features. The study focuses on the informal settlements of Nairobi, and the purpose is not to examine other informal settlements or rural areas in Kenya.  This is a qualitative study, primarily based on a field study, profound interviews, as well as a limited survey. To achieve the purpose, we have tried to answer questions concerning the fundamental conditions for the current market of menstrual cups; the conditions for an increase in demand; and what a well-functioning structure for the menstrual cup would be. Besides answering these research questions, the methods were necessary in order to get an understanding of the conditions in Nairobi. The interview respondents represent both the consumers and the producers, with the purpose of getting a wider perspective regarding the market conditions. The questionnaire targeted the parents and caretakers, whom are the economic decision makers in the households. The aim was to get a comprehension about the life situations and economic conditions characterising the informal settlements, but also to get a general idea about the attitude towards the menstrual cup, since the product is rather unfamiliar.  The current market structure is characterised by charity organisations who distribute the menstrual cups for free. Their main concept is to educate young girls and secure a better future for them by securing the supply of menstrual management products. The study has shown the biggest challenge to overcome is the inability to pay, however, the result shows there are different possible solutions for producers and distributors to approach the market of menstrual cups. Instalments, price discrimination, Multi-Level Marketing, governmental subsidies and sponsoring from global organisations are some of the proposed strategies discussed in this thesis.  A sustainable market solution is necessary to utilise the positive externalities that emerges from menstrual cup usage, and satisfy the need for good quality menstrual management products in Nairobi in the long run. Today, because the cup usage is low, the positive externalities are lost, resulting in deadweight losses.  In conclusion, there are several possible market strategies for both incumbents and potential new entrants. The study has also found that menstrual health does not get enough recognition by neither national authorities, nor global actors, like the United Nations. This matter needs to be acknowledged in order to improve the conditions for millions of women suffering from menstrual related problems today.
