My study contains a semiotic analysis of two photos posted by the Instagram account Snubbarinreder, an account that posts photos of homes allegedly belonging to men. There are clear tendencies on the account to portray men as heavy consumers of alcohol and video games alongside a general inability or disinterest in caring for a home. My study is based mainly on studies by Beverly Skeggs and Göran Eriksson on how the working class are commonly portrayed in the media. The purpose of the study is to investigate aspects of class in the portrayal of men in the posted photos. Eriksson and Skeggs explains that it is common to portray the working class as exaggerated, tasteless and out of control, which my study shows are also recurring themes in the portrayal of men on Snubbarinreder. Thus, the results of the study shows that there are similarities between the portrayal of the working class in, for example Reality-TV, and the portrayal of men on the Instagram account Snubbarinreder.
