1	Vad ser du? : En retorisk studie av blickar och identifikationsmöjligheter i feministisk erotik / What Do You See? : A Rhetorical Analysis of Gaze and Identification in Feministic Erotica Sollervik, Malin January 2021 (has links) This is a rhetorical study of Swedish feminist erotic short stories. The purpose is to investigate what kind of identification possibilities are offered to readers and if these are presented or influenced by the male gaze and normative gender perceptions. The male gaze is a concept based on men having the dominant perspective on sexuality and is the one whose needs are to be met in mainstream pornography and erotica. Through a narrative analysis we seek to examine characters, settings, plot, themes and rhetorical functions in the artefacts. To broaden the analysis, focus is placed on examining if and how a male and/or female gaze are presented in the short stories and coexists with a feminist gaze. The interest is to understand how these gazes affect the identification possibilities for readers. A feminist perspective should mean that the influence of the male gaze decreases sharply, right? The results show that a feminist gaze and perspective can contribute to broaden identification possibilities, but that it is not quite as manifested as one might think. The results also show that it is difficult to write feminist erotic short stories without letting the text be influenced by normative gender perceptions and the dominance of the male gaze. rhetorical functions narrative analysis identification erotica gaze feminism Burke Retorik narrativ analys identifikation erotik blickar feminism Burke Gender Studies Genusstudier Literary Composition Litterär gestaltning Specific Literatures Litteraturstudier
