Bailey, Dorie. "Beefing Up the Beefcake: Male Objectification, Boy Bands, and the Socialized Female Gaze." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2016. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/scripps_theses/743.
Full textAbstract:
In the traditionally patriarchal Hollywood industry, the heterosexual man’s “male gaze,” as coined by feminist film theorist Laura Mulvey, is the dominant viewing model for cinematic audiences, leaving little room for a negotiated reading of how visual images are created, presented, and internalized by male and female audiences alike. However, as Hollywood’s shifting feminist landscape becomes increasingly prevalent in the mainstream media, content incorporating the oppositional “female gaze” have become the new norm in both the film and television mediums. Through an extended analysis of the gaze as socialized through gendered learning in children, the “safe space” afforded through the formulaic platform of “boy bands,” and the function of romantic comedies and the emerging feminist rhetoric prevalent in such films as “Magic Mike: XXL,” the conceptual “female gaze” is defined and explored through the demographic of young girls as they grow and push their understanding of desire, particularly as they develop into the mature, media-cosuming women that have become increasingly vocal in the Hollywood sphere.

Riegle, Allison E. "Rieglematica: Re-Imagining the Photobooth Through Female Performativity and Self-Portraiture." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2014. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/scripps_theses/328.
Full textAbstract:
This paper explores the historical significance and advancements of automatic photobooth portraiture from the late 1800s onwards, focusing specifically on the intention behind the photobooth’s creation and the significance and cultural implications of its introduction into society. As it gradually became a staple of modern society, regularly visited by citizens to have their portraits taken, numerous artists sought out the photobooth as both a studio and a stage in which to document performative self-portraiture. The space and aesthetics of the photobooth have inspired artists to re-envision the confines of the booth and use its automatic function as a point of inspiration. I will also highlight the significance of female self-portraiture and the significance of women performing within and occupying specific spaces. My work is a combination of these histories, providing me with the opportunity to continue the discussion of women’s self-representation and the unique artistic space the photobooth provides between public and private spheres.

Jensen, Amy Alexandra. "The representation of the female body/embodiment in selected mainstream American films / A.A. Jensen." Thesis, North-West University, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/10394/10603.
Full textAbstract:
In her article “Visual pleasure and narrative cinema” (1975) Laura Mulvey explains how film portrays the female characters as passive sexualised objects, on display for the male (erotic) gaze. Although, Mulvey did make amendments to the original article after it was criticised, her original article is still influential and referenced in academic writing on film. This dissertation investigates how the three selected mainstream American films, namely, Alice in Wonderland, Monster and Transamerica, have female protagonists who deviate from Mulvey’s initial standpoint and enact a new dynamic, whereby the female characters possess active bodies. In order to explain this new dynamic, the dissertation provides an overview of relevant theory in order to establish the necessary analytical tools to investigate the representation of the female body. These tools are taken from feminist notions of the body, most importantly Mulvey’s notions, in order to establish what constitutes an active female body that subverts the male gaze. This subversion is most notable when examining the iconography of the active female body. The dissertation also draws from the overview the importance of place and space, the embodiment of the characters’ inner workings in specific locations, and their relationship with the locations in which they are depicted. Since all three films include a physical journey on which the respective protagonists embark the examination of borders and border crossings is included. The dissertation shows that journeys bring with them the opportunity for the body to be active, as each female protagonist is on a journey to self-discovery. The changing settings in which the protagonists find themselves are an embodiment of their inner workings. Topographical borders mark the entering of new locations. However, concomitant symbolic and epistemological borders are also crossed. The female protagonists need to make choices concerning their lives and as a consequence alter the representations to reflect bodies that subvert the male gaze. These female bodies are active. However, they are active in different ways. Alice, from Alice in Wonderland, delves into her psyche to emerge a changed and independent Victorian woman. Bree, from Transamerica, heals the relationships with her family and is able to have her gender reconstructive surgery to become a physical woman. These two female protagonists have positive representations of the active female body. The protagonist from Monster, Aileen, is represented in a constant state of abjection and her active body is portrayed in a negative light. Whether represented in a positive or egative light, these chosen films all portray an active female body that does subvert the male gaze, and hence represent a new dynamic different from the one Mulvey described.MA (Language Practice), North-West University, Vaal Triangle Campus, 2014

Full textAbstract:
Det finns forskare som menar att medierna är med och skapar vår identitet, därför måste vi ställa oss kritiska till de bilder vi ser. Enligt Gillian Rose ska vi med noggrannhet granska de bilder som exempelvis ett omslag har, för där det finns vissa kriterier vi måste ta hänsyn till. Syftet med min studie är att med semiotiska och retoriska verktyg analysera Elle, Plaza Kvinna, GQ samt King’s omslag för att se om män och kvinnor gestaltas olika beroende på vilken publiken är. Samt om det finns en skillnad tidningarna emellan. Med hjälp av Yvonne Hirdmans genusteori, Erwing Goffmans teori om avkodningen på bilden samt Laura Mulveys begrepp ”the male gaze” såg jag hur omslagen med en manlig publik gestaltade både män och kvinnor på sina omslag. Samt att de omslagen som inriktade sig till kvinnlig publik endast gestaltade kvinnor. Av de fyra modemagasinen som jag valde att analysera så anspelade tre av dem på kända personers trovärdighet istället för att låta kläder eller skönhet tala. Ord som blev centrala i analysernas konnotativa del var bland annat självständighet, makt, elegans och fullständighet.There are scientists who believe that the media are creating human’s identity, therefore we need to be critical to the images we see. According to Gillian Rose we must view the cover pictures carefully with several criteria to take into consideration. The purpose with this study is to analyze Elle, Plaza Kvinna, GQ and King’s covers to see if men and women are portrayed differently depending on who’s looking. With the help of semiotic and rhetorical tools I saw a difference to how the genders were portrayed. The theoretical position I have taken is gender theory by Yvonne Hirdman, the theory Erwing Goffman presents in his work Media Advertisement where he talks about the decoding of a picture and Laura Mulveys concept of” the male gaze”. In the material, I saw that a different was made between male and females. The magazines that had a male audience portrayed both men and woman on their covers. And the magazines that has a female audience portrayed woman only. Of the four- fashion magazine three of them focused on the credibility of the model instead of letting the fashion speak.

Full textAbstract:
This essay argues that the depiction of women in Seamus Heaney’s poems “Bog Queen” and “Punishment” results from the male gaze in three ways: the narrative viewpoint, stereotypical characterization, and the objectification of the female body. The following essay analyses the poems through an ecofeminist perspective that enables examination of the female characters as personifications of nature – “Bog Queen” as Mother Earth and the victim of “Punishment” as Nerthus, the fertility goddess. The analysis explores three areas; historical context, ‘The Feminine Principle,’ and Nussbaum’s list of ‘Feminist Perspectives on Objectification’ to answer how the male gaze is present in the three aspects. The male gaze is argued to be attributed to an androcentric narrative that presents a man and country’s sense of revenge, stereotypes that are totems of the male fantasy, and dehumanizing sexual objectification that enables appreciation of the dead bodies of women.

Full textAbstract:
Critics of Clarice Lispector often identify feminist themes relating to voice, gender, and the male gaze in her creative work. Lispector’s collection of short stories Laços de família demonstrates the way patriarchal society sets limits on the identity of women. Laura Mulvey’s concept of “the male gaze” provides a useful tool for understanding how men marginalize, objectify, and subordinate women through visual regimes of control, yet Mulvey’s concept does not fully encapsulate the scope of male oppression explored in Laços de família. In fact, Lispector draws upon a variety of senses and metaphors related to consumption through a mode I call food femininities to display how men consume their female counterparts in society. More specifically, Lispector’s collection Laços de família invokes, presents, and uses food, food imagery, food vocabulary, and food metaphors as a central way of defining gender roles determined by society and performed in accordance with the normative standards dictated by said society.

Thesis, Högskolan i Kalmar, Institutionen för kommunikation och design, 2008. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hik:diva-758.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to compare the contents, editorials and front covers of Sweden’s oldest girl’s magazine Veckorevyn during two different years, in which the magazine had two very different chief editors. In the year 2000, Emma Hamberg got the job as editor-in-chief for Veckorevyn, with a vision of changing the way the magazine represented young females. She wanted to add a more feminist viewpoint to the magazine, since she felt that Veckorevyn didn’t live up to its claim of being “a girl’s best friend”. Six years later, the famous Swedish fashion editor Ebba von Sydow became editor-in-chief for Veckorevyn, with the intention of making the magazine better, smarter and more fun for young girls. Her ambition was also to add more features about career and affordable fashion, since she felt that those topics were important for young women of today. Since these two editor-in-chiefs wanted to do so different things with Veckorevyn, we found it interesting to try to pinpoint what their differences and similarities as editors-in-chief were and how this was reflected in the magazines. The methods used were quantitative content analysis and qualitative text analysis, together with a comparative analysis between the two annual volumes. We also did interviews with the two former editors-in-chiefs, Emma Hamberg and Ebba von Sydow to get a clearer image of what they wanted to do with the magazine and how well they thought that they reached their goals. As guidelines for the study, we used theories about the survival techniques used by female journalists, feminism, personification, the male gaze and the female gaze. We found that the two versions of Veckorevyn were similar in which subjects they chose to write about. Both versions had a content based mostly on fashion, beauty, and celebrities. However, we found a noticeable difference in how they wrote about these subjects. Other differences were found in how the editorials were written, and in the choice of what kind of people got to appear on the front covers.

Full textAbstract:
"Flowery boys"(花样少年) - when this phrase is applied to attractive young men it is now often considered as a compliment. This research sets out to study the feminisation phenomena in the representation of warriors in Chinese language films from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China made in the first decade of the new millennium (2000-2009), as these three regions are now often packaged together as a pan-unity of the Chinese cultural realm. The foci of this study are on the investigations of the warriors as the feminised Other from two aspects: their bodies as spectacles and the manifestation of feminine characteristics in the male warriors. This study aims to detect what lies underneath the beautiful masquerade of the warriors as the Other through comprehensive analyses of the representations of feminised warriors and comparison with their female counterparts.
It aims to test the hypothesis that gender identities are inventory categories transformed by and with changing historical context. Simultaneously, it is a project to study how Chinese traditional values and postmodern metrosexual culture interacted to formulate Chinese contemporary masculinity. It is also a project to search for a cultural nationalism presented in these films with the examination of gender politics hidden in these feminisation phenomena.
With Laura Mulvey's theory of the gaze as a starting point, this research reconsiders the power relationship between the viewing subject and the spectacle to study the possibility of multiple gaze as well as the power of spectacle. With such reconsideration of the relationship between the film texts and the audiences, this project aims to strip off the negative connotations imposed on the concept of 'feminisation' and to seek to prove the emerging of a feminine discourse popularised by a graphic revolution.

Full textAbstract:
Denna studie granskar hur perspektiv på femininitet manifesteras i kvinnliga fotografers bilder av andra kvinnor på Instagram. En av de fundamentala drivkrafterna som kvinnliga fotografer på medieplattformen Instagram uppvisar i sitt arbete, är att förmedla ett kvinnligt perspektiv på världen. Genom kvalitativ semiotik undersöker studien de möjliga betydelser kring femininitet som går att utläsa i bilder vars teman berör upplevelsen av att vara kvinna. Den lyfter frågan om det egentligen finns ett enhetligt kvinnligt perspektiv - och i så fall, hur tar det sig uttryck? Resultaten indikerar att vad som definierar de kvinnliga blickarna i dessa bilder kan tolkas på ett antal sätt - som internaliseringar av patriarkala strukturer, som försiktiga brytanden mot normer av representationer av kvinnor i media, eller som ironiserande satirer. Men även att det finns en kvinnlig erfarenhet, som handlar om att växa upp som kvinna, bemötas och leva som kvinna, som syns i dessa fotografers arbete.This study looks at how perspectives on femininity are manifested in female photographers’ images of other women on Instagram. One of the fundamental incentives that female photographers on the media platform Instagram show in their work is to convey a female perspective on the world. Through qualitative semiotics, the study explores the possible meanings about femininity that can be deduced in images with themes concerning the experience of being a woman. It raises the question of whether there actually is a homogenous female perspective - and if so, how is it expressed? The results indicate that what defines the female gazes in these images can be interpreted in a number of ways - as internalisations of patriarchal structures, as careful breaches against norms of female representation in the media, and as ironic satires. But also that there is a female experience that is about growing up defined as a woman— being treated as and living as a woman — that is visible in the work of these photographers.

Full textAbstract:
Denna uppsats ser på vem det egentligen är som tittar på de nakna eller halvnakna verken som ställs ut på den Nationalmuseum i Stockholm efter deras nyöppning hösten 2018. Metoden som har använts för att söka svar på detta är genom fysiska observationer på plats, medan en avgränsning till större skulpturer och målningar som visar bröstvårtor eller kön har gjorts, även en kvantitativ inventering har gjorts av verken. För att analysera resultatet används en feministisk postkolonial diskursanalys, med utgångspunkt från den tidigare forskningen om ”blicken” eller ”the Gaze”, från Sartre, Mulvey, och Gamman & Marshmen. Resultatet visar att majoriteten av de nakna verken har placerats i avdelningarna för den tidiga konsten från 1500-1700- talet, medan det är få nakna verk i den senare tidens avdelningar från 1800-1900-talet. Denna uppdelning följer även en uppdelning av var män och kvinnor uppehåller sig längst, då männen är på 1500-1700-tals avdelningen längst medan kvinnorna uppehåller sig längst på 1800-1900-tals avdelningen.Det visar sig även att män är mer intresserad av att titta på nakna män än vad kvinnor är, dock så är män och kvinnor lika intresserade av att titta på nakna kvinnor. En intressant vändning är att kvinnorna och männens beteenden ändras i varandras sällskap, då kvinnorna tar samma plats som männen medan männen tar mindre plats som kvinnorna.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this essay is to examine the censorship that the social media platform Instagram exerts over pictures of female nudes, and whether the body type of the women depicted is a factor in how the censorship is carried through. This is executed by making a comparative picture analysis of eight nude photos published on Instagram, four of which are allowed on the platform and four which are not, and have therefore been deleted. The bodies are analysed, and aspects of how they are depicted which are related to the Instagram Community Guidelines, and furthermore if the body depicted conforms to the norms of our contemporary beauty standards and “the Male Gaze”, are reviewed. This fundamental part of the study isbased on the formal analysis and the methods of semiotics. Furthermore, the history of the nude in art, the body norms and ideals of our contemporary society, the Instagram Community rules and Guidelines and the artists are presented briefly. The discussion which has been carried through is based on the analysis and thesis of how female nudes of the Western art cannon have been received, judged, divided into categories and censored to answer the central inquires of the essay. In conclusion, this essay finds how pictures of nude women on Instagram are received, judged, and censored differently depending on whether they fit into the norms of beauty and conform to the male gaze. Hence, the rules of Instagram are found to have been followed through with double standard and bias.

Full textAbstract:
This essay aims to analyse how the exposedness is constructed in the Swedish contemporary artist Nathalie Djurberg’s two stop motion-films Greed and Cave. Five stills from Greed and three stills from Cave will be examined from a feminist perspective with a theoretical viewpoint based on theories from both art history and film studies. The method applied is visual semiotics which focuses on how meaning is created within an artwork rather than what the meaning is. The stills from Djurberg’s films are analysed first on a denotative level and then on a connotative level. Furthermore, visual semiotics theorises that everything is made up of systems of signs which allows this essay to study how the women in Djurberg’s movies functions as signs. The essay demonstrated that the women in Djurberg’s films can be seen as passive objects under the power of the male gaze. However, the analysis also displayed that the woman in Cave can be perceived as someone who defies the patriarchal norms for how a woman should behave and look. Nonetheless, the exposedness of these women seems to be constructed firstly in their bodies and how they are represented, both in looks but also how they are posed to reinforce patriarchal conventions in the female representation, and secondly in their relation to male characters - or the implied male gaze from a spectator - in the films. The women in Djurberg’s films can thus be understood as signs for male sexual desires, as signs for the Woman posing as the Man’s opposite, as the objective for His gaze.

Full textAbstract:
As entertainment reflects a culture's ideology, it is important for researchers to study its messages and subsequently its potential meanings. Entertainment has the power to inform and persuade, creating models for behavior with which the public interacts. The entertainment texts for the purpose of this study are the Castle television series and the Nikki Heat novels. Together, they create a unique multi-layer fictional world. By using postmodern, feminist, communication, and entertainment theories, the results of this study provide a tightly focused lens which views a narrow aspect of entertainment media. Each text was thoroughly examined using textual analysis, Feminist Poststructuralist Discourse Analysis, and conversation analysis. Contrary to expectations, the results indicated that the Castle and Nikki Heat texts support hegemonic ideology, particularly through the use of exaggerated stereotypes, strict gender roles, imagery, and narrative choices that help perpetuate rape culture. The discussion outlines how these results can be interpreted through the dominant messages presented in the texts. This research is intended to serve as a foundation for future research regarding entertainment media.

Full textAbstract:
Seriemediet inkorporerar lingvistiska och ikoniska tecken för att uttrycka etiska, moraliska, sociala och politiska budskap, vilka kan slätas över av en underhållande och tilltalande form. Detta gör mediet lämpligt för en retorisk analys. Ett omdiskuterat ämne inom seriemediet är dess gestaltning av kvinnor, å ena sidan i form av stereotypa könsroller och underrepresentation av verkligt intressanta kvinnliga karaktärer, å andra sidan sexualiserande porträtteringar, våld och övergrepp. Denna uppsats undersöker hur våld mot kvinnor gestaltas i mötet mellan olika typer av bilder och texter i ett och samma serieförfattarskap. Undersökningen genomförs med hjälp av Roland Barthes ”Rhétorique de l’image” (1964) och teorin om the male gaze som Laura Mulvey diskuterar i artikeln ”Visual pleasure and narrative cinema” (1975). Analysen inspireras av en komparativ metod beskriven av Lennart Hellspong i Metoder för brukstextanalys (2001). Uppsatsen granskar utdrag ur Watchmen, Batman: The Killing Joke och The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen av Alan Moore, en av vår tids mest ansedda författare inom seriemediet, också känd för att porträttera våld mot kvinnliga karaktärer. Uppsatsens påvisade en ambivalens i porträtterandet av våld mot kvinnor i utdragen ur Alan Moores graphic novels, samt behovet av att problematisera såväl Alan Moores serier som Laura Mulveys the male gaze, men också möjligheten att använda hennes och Barthes teorier inom retorikdiskursens och seriemediets ramar för att granska hur samspelet mellan bild och text kan uttrycka olika typer av budskap och attityder.

Full textAbstract:
This paper addresses the representation of the male equivalent of the mermaid - the merman - in illustrations. The paper relies on a theoretical framework of gender studies, queer theory, masculinity studies and previous studies of the mermaid including psychoanalysis and folkloric studies. The paper focuses on four different representations of the merman: The Pin-up, The Romantic Couple, The Fish Boy and The Elderly Merman. Each type is examined by their portrayal of gender, sexuality, masculinity, the gendered gazes in the picture and the intertextual relation to mermaid mythology, folklore and research. The paper concludes that the illustrations of the merman are shaped by a polarized gender norm. The different representations show a wide range of implicit looks, sexualities and various ways in how they relate to the mermaid myth. Some strategies implemented in the pictures imply that the male body still resists an objectified position. The sexualized merman follows the beauty ideals for the western man in mainstream media since the 1980’s where whiteness, muscles, youth and sensitivity are prioritized. The mermen that do not follow this ideal is pictured as frightening and/or asexual. All mermen have in common that they are feminized and exoticized due to their close connection to nature.

Full textAbstract:
La présente thèse s’organise comme une étude du cinéma brésilien contemporain visant à mettre en évidence la constitution des regards féminins. Cette étude s’appuie sur l’analyse filmique pour circonscrire un modèle esthétique en opposition au regard dominant qui structure la majorité de la production cinématographique. Il propose une perspective distincte de la théorie féministe classique, moins focalisée sur des paires d'opposés historiquement consacrées (masculin versus féminin), et qui se concentre davantage sur ce que les films offrent comme indices d’une organisation symbolique. L’ambition est de déceler la constitution d’un regard féminin cinématographique, et de décrire les traits structurels de ceux-ciThe present thesis is a study of contemporary Brazilian cinema focused on the constitution of female gazes. This study is based on film analysis and aims to describe an aesthetic model in opposition to the dominant (male) gaze that structures the majority of film production. It develops a perspective that distinguishes itself from classical feminist theory, by means of a shift in focus from the historically consecrated pair of opposites (masculine versus feminine) to an emphasis on what films offer as indications pointing to new symbolic structures. Its goal is to shed light on the constitution of a cinematic female gaze, and to describe the structural lines that define it

In the present dissertation the construction of female subjectivity of the actress is demonstrated based on the analyses of the star´s gaze, which is the distinguished gesture of her acting visualising her desire and power as female subject that questions the phallocentric system of the narrations which she starred in. What is considered in parallel is the function that Gong Li wished to give her star persona, intervening in the process of her filmic productions and involving actively in the creation of her own symbolic image. The last objective is to demonstrate that – from the studies of the feminist philosophy and Star Studies – the Chinese actress Gong Li raises as an autonomous acting subject.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis offers a reading of GQ South Africa 2000, the first glossy men’s magazine to be launched in South Africa (in 2000). It traces the possible iconographical genealogy of glossy men’s magazines to canonical erotic artworks and examines the aesthetic conventions used by GQ to elevate its contents through an implied association with art. This thesis, furthermore, investigates the commonalities between GQ, a ‘mainstream’ publication, and ‘pornography’ (as defined by the United States Civil Rights Ordinance 1985). In this way, the fluid impermanence of ‘art’, ‘pornography’ and ‘popular culture’ as typologies is highlighted. The new taxonomy of ‘gentlemen’s pornography’ is introduced in order to counter the notion that material that has the gloss of ‘high culture’ and is deemed socially acceptable, cannot be pornographic. This thesis submits that a critical reading of glossy men’s magazines from an interdisciplinary perspective is imperative in order to reveal their ideological assumptions. The ideological position that informs this study is the radical feminist belief that pornography objectifies and subordinates women and is, therefore, harmful. The thesis is simultaneously grounded in the theoretical methodologies of visual culture and art history, and as such assumes the intonation of these disciplines. From a Postmodern point-of-view, popular visual culture not only wields power in terms of generalising (capitalist and sexist) western paradigms, but is also skilful at masking its significant influence in doing so. For this reason, this dissertation endeavours to raise a critical dialogue concerning the ideological ‘message’ of glossy men’s magazines. The sometimes antithetical nature of discourse critically centered on gender representation in visual culture may be attributed to the pervasiveness of familiar (and therefore seemingly harmless) female objectification in the popular media. This thesis examines the iconography of gendered stereotypes against the erotic/pornographic, high culture/low culture object/subject binaries, and, furthermore, situates these types in the wider dialectic of ‘obscene’ (off-scene) versus ‘acceptable’ culture. The glossy men’s magazines that form the interest of this study are a trade situated in the alliance of social elitism and representational control over the female body, and, thus, this thesis marks the point of intersection between consumer culture and the politics of display.Dissertation (MA (Visual Arts))--University of Pretoria, 2003.

Full textAbstract:
Cléo from 5 to 7 is perhaps the most famous work of influential French filmmaker Agnès Varda, who is often called the "Grande Dame of the New Wave". The depth of symbolism, the richness of imagery, the beginnings of cinécriture (a Varda-ism describing cinema as a form of writing that uses all the tools available to a filmmaker, not just words), and the charm of the story have guaranteed Cléo's popularity with scholars and audiences alike. Current scholarship has tended to focus on a few aspects of Cléo, including her role as a flâneuse, the use of mirrors and the theme of gazing, time and the division of the film into chapters, the female gaze, and femininity. I will examine the thematic of decay, nature, and beauty in Cléo. Beginning by linking it to her more contemporary documentary The Gleaners and I, I will analyze how Varda undermines conventional ideas of health, youth, and beauty by deconstructing Cléo's world through the threat of disease, only to show how Cléo regains autonomy and control of herself by learning to embrace the inevitability of decay in nature, and in her own body. I will rely on the theories in Elaine Scarry's The Body in Pain to show how Cléo's changing relationship to her body constitute the profound transformation mentioned at the beginning of the film. I will also examine Cléo's cancer in light of Susan Sontag's essay Illness as Metaphor. We will see how Varda uses cinécriture to express these ideas, especially in regards to the dialogue between characters, visual symbols, and the use of space.

Full textAbstract:
In 2012 and 2014, two hashtags, #1ReasonWhy and #GamerGate, exposed a highly sexist video game industry that was not welcoming female participation. This was affecting women working or wanting to work in it. Feminist technoscience studies explain this phenomenon by applying theories concerning the masculine domination of our society and the perception of women as “others.” Despite the numerous challenges and struggling for inclusion, women still create video games, many as independents, taking advantage of free game engines. Hence, my aim in this thesis was to understand the interconnections between technology, specifically in the video game industry, and its social impact. I focus on the balance of male and female participation in the video game creation, the role of game engines, and the enablers and inhibitors for female inclusion, as an important component of decision making for organizational change in this industry. I conducted an inductive qualitative research approach with eight semi-structured interviews with female video game creators from the Latin American region. My findings reveal that using free/affordable technology, such as game engines, is not enough to guarantee female inclusion in the video game industry. This industry is resistant to change and tends to reinforce male predominance by hiring only a specific type of worker that matches the perfect gamer, usually young males. The participation of women in the video game creation teams (which include developers, designers, artists, testers, among others) would bring balance, diversity, new voices and fresh/new ideas, as well as women empowerment to the table. In addition, eleven inhibitors and eight enablers were identified as factors for female inclusion in the video game industry.

Full textAbstract:
Le cinéma s’est, dès ses origines, heurté à la question du réel. La caméra, en tant que machine à enregistrer, s’est présentée comme une opportunité de retranscrire une forme de vérité, épurée de tous les différents filtres qui faisaient obstacle à la représentation des « choses telles qu’elles sont ». Pourtant, l’image filmée, comme tout énoncé linguistique, ne peut échapper aux multiples trahisons de la vérité qui ne peuvent faire d’elle qu’une construction, même dans son dispositif le plus élémentaire. Outre la question du réel et son axe véritatif, le cinéma n’a jamais cessé de se confronter à de nouvelles trahisons : la trahison de classe (les frères Lumière), la trahison de genre (le male gaze), la trahison politique (Godard) et la trahison spectatorielle. Faisant état de l’ensemble de ces trahisons, cette thèse s’interroge sur les formes de l’autonarration dans ses allers-retours de l’écran à l’écrit et les multiples avatars du moi. Comment se raconter sans se trahir, du moins le moins possible ? Le documentaire est-il plus fidèle au réel que la fiction ? Faut-il dire « je » pour se raconter ? Que devient « je » une fois à l’écran ? Quelle est la valeur d’un « je » féminin face à un « je » masculin ? S’écrit-on plus sincèrement qu’on ne se filme ? L’auto-incarnation à l’écran est-elle gage de vérité ? Afin d’apporter des pistes de réponses, cette thèse propose une exploration transmédiale d’œuvres d’auteur.ices qui n’ont cessé de placer l’enjeu biographique au cœur de leur travail : Cyril Collard, d’abord, qui s’est écrit, filmé, chanté, a fait sacrifice de sa chair à l’écran jusqu’à sa mort médiatique ; Eva Ionesco ensuite, qui s’est d’abord filmée avant de s’écrire, faisant du trauma de l’enfance le point de départ narratif de l’ensemble de son œuvre ; et Julie Maroh à qui nous réservons un traitement particulier puisque la dimension autofictionnelle de ses romans graphiques n’a jamais été clairement revendiquée. Néanmoins, Maroh, dans sa pratique d’autrice-illustratrice se situe dans un entre-deux-mondes, où le roman porte en lui la marque d’une volonté cinématographique. Nous démontrerons que le roman graphique, en tant que scénarimage, constitue une forme de propédeutique à la pratique cinématographique. Et qu’il peut être le lieu d’une expression sincère affranchie des contraintes tant de la défaillance des langues que de la trahison filmiqueFrom its inception, cinema has come up against the question of reality. The camera, as a recording machine, presented itself as an opportunity to transcribe a form of truth, stripped of all the different filters that hindered the representation of "things as they are". However, the filmed image, like any linguistic statement, cannot escape the multiple betrayals of the truth which can only make it a construction, even in its most elementary device. In addition to the question of reality and its real axis, cinema has never ceased to face new betrayals: class betrayal (Lumière brothers), gender betrayal (male gaze), political betrayal (Godard ) and spectator betrayal. Taking stock of all of these betrayals, this thesis questions the forms of self-storytelling in its back and forth from the screen to the written word and the multiple avatars of the ego. How can you tell your story without betraying yourself? Is documentary more faithful to reality than fiction? Do you have to say "I" to tell yourself? What happens to "I" once on the screen? What is the value of a female "I" compared to a male "I"? Do we write to ourselves more sincerely than we film ourselves? Is Self-Incarnation on Screen True? In order to provide avenues for answers, this thesis proposes a transmedial exploration of works by authorship that place the biographical issue at the heart of their work: Cyril Collard, first of all, who has written, filmed et sung himself, sacrificed its flesh on screen until its death; Eva Ionesco then, who first filmed herself before writing, making childhood trauma the narrative point of departure for all of her work; and Julie Maroh, to whom we reserve different treatment since the autofictional dimension of her graphic novels has never been clearly claimed. Nonetheless, Maroh, as an illustrator, finds herself in a middle ground, where the novel bears within it the mark of a cinematic will. We will demonstrate that the graphic novel, as a storyboard, constitutes a form of propaedeutic to cinematographic practice. And that it can be the place of a sincere expression freed from the constraints of both language failure and filmic betrayal

Full textAbstract:
This study explored the organizing principles of female sociality in free-ranging vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops) inhabiting the Klein Karoo, South Africa. Females groomed more than males, grooming peaked at the end of the day and less grooming occurred during the mating season. Although females competed over food, they did not compete over grooming partners, rarely formed coalitions and did not trade grooming against other activities. Instead, they maintained grooming whilst trading between feeding and resting and feeding and moving. Despite seasonal shifts in food competition, grooming was not traded for tolerance and there was an upper limit to cohort size before clique size declined. Inter-population comparisons revealed no troop size effects on clique size, aggression and competition over high-ranking grooming partners. The rarity of coalitions suggests coalitions are unlikely to be a central component of female relationships.xiii, 162 leaves : ill., maps ; 29 cm

Full textAbstract:
Due to immense popularity of video games the author investigates the presence of gender portrayal within them. The purpose of this study is to thoroughly analyse a general phenomenon, such as gender, within video games to develop a better understanding of its particularities in this form of media and to expand the general body of knowledge on video games as a research topic. As prior literature shows, gender within video games can be either defined by its biased and sexualized character or by a tendency towards equality and strength for woman. To explain those varied results the author introduces the category of role as an important factor for character representation based on the use of theoretical frameworks of symbolic interactionism, more particularly dramaturgical approach of E. Goffman. She then further proceeds with a qualitative discourse analysis of both protagonist and support characters from 22 different games. The author finds that there is a visible difference within the manners females are presented depending on their role. Lead characters are more likely to be strong, independent and self-sufficient whereas support characters most often require immediate help, are dependent on others and are more likely to be abused. Presented results can account for some of the variety in prior research and they open the field of video game studies to possibly new research topics.

Full textAbstract:
Uppsatsen syftar till att diskutera och jämföra tre olika metoder för karaktärsutveckling och diskutera dessa i förhållande till The Female Assassin; ett spelmanuskript som utspelar sig under Franska Revolutionen. För att få en god bakgrund för examensarbetet valde jag att läsa ett antal böcker om Franska Revolutionen, karaktärsutveckling och Game Writing. Jag har använt mig av personlighetsdiamanter och mallen Character Template för att skapa karaktärer till manuskriptet. I rapporten diskuterar och jämför jag dessa två metoder samt arketyper. Jag kom fram till att de tre metoderna för att utveckla spelkaraktärer fungerar utmärkt och kan kombineras för att få fram mer avancerade karaktärer. Spelmanuskriptet är skrivet utifrån mitt High Concept om spelet La Meurtrière (se Bilaga 2) framtaget för kursen Modellkonstruktion för Interagerbara Medier/Spel A11. The Female Assassin handlar om de tre första åren under Franska Revolutionen och om den unga lönnmörderskan Élodie Bauchet. Jag använder mig av ludologi och narratologi för att undersöka och diskutera spelmanuskriptets spelmekanik och berättelse. Slutsatsen som jag drog efter att granskat manuskriptet genom narratologi och ludologi var att story i spel kan berättas genom spelmekanik och att det är att föredra framför så kallade cutscenes och dialog emellan spelkaraktärer.

Full textAbstract:
Sexual objectification is a topic that is frequently discussed but its importance is underestimated by many in the game industry as well as the general public. This thesis examines and analyses ten mature rated game-trailers with the help of a sex object test to determine if the trailers are sexual objectified. The Sex Object Test (SOT) originally was developed by PhD Caroline Heldman (2012) to measure the presence of sexual objectification in images, a research she based of Martha Nussbaum (1995) and Rae Langton (2009) theories on sexual objectification. During the first part of the examination process, the used qualitative classification method consisted of listing the top ten games of 2013 with sufficient amount of reviews on gamerankings.com with a mature rating in which the trailer had to contain a female character. During the second part of the classification process, all frames of each trailer were searched and analyzed according to SOT. The result of this examination shows that female characters in the majority of tested game trailers were sexually objectified. However, by briefly comparing these trailers with the game content, the results of this investigation shows that it is not possible to determine if the game the trailer represent is sexually objectifying or not against female characters.

Full textAbstract:
This essay explores and examines disgust in five literary figures and books based on scent, bodyfluids and abjection. Together with Julia Kristeva's Powers of Horror: An Essay on Abjection and Sara Ahmed's "The Performativity of Disgust" in The Cultural Politics of Emotion, I analyze these books, and my position as a researchsubject. The questions I ask are: What does disgust mean? How do the subject's boundaries shift when things penetrate the body? How are scents, body fluids and disgust expressed in relation to power and the female body? And what does it mean that I stick my reading experiences on the texts I read? The analysis begins in Mare Kandre's novel Aliide, Aliide and how gaze, power and girlhood are made, as well as how abjection takes place in the intake of milk and larvae. Body in body and body against body are analyzed based on Aliide's disgust in the novel. I discuss how something growing inside is experienced as disgusting and frightening and connect it to the pregnant body and the fetus as abjection. In the second chapter of the analyze, it is Parfymen: berättelsen om en mördare by Patrick Süskind that focuses on the scent of the female body that Grenouille, the main character tries to extract and master. The gaze on the female body and the extraction of fragrance is in focus here and in Nekrofilen by Gabrielle Wittkop, Lucien's desire for the dead body is examined. The body fluids, such as the vomit that the bodies excrete can be read as limits to life and death. In the third and final analysis section, I read these books with affect. I reconnect to my introduction where Ulf Lundell's poems made me feel disgusted. I use Ahmed's concept of performativity to discuss how cannibalism - reading - eating body fluids are connected, and how writing about disgust, is a form om vomiting. I examine my own writing subject and what an affective reading does to literary studies and the research position. In conclusion, I discuss how the universal and the subjective making of disgust effect research.

A dissertação analisa as identidades da mulher representadas na série Game of Thrones através de três personagens de destaque da primeira temporada: Cersei Lannister, Catelyn Stark e Daenerys Targaryen. As relações entre gênero e identidades estão frequentemente no centro das discussões comunicacionais, devido ao crescimento do papel da mulher na sociedade. Os meios de comunicação e seus produtos são fundamentais para a propagação de valores e fornecimento de subsídios para que o indivíduo construa sua identidade, estabeleça diferenças com o outro, se identifique e se projete. Observa-se como se deram as transformações passadas pelas maneiras de se contar uma história – percorrendo um caminho que vai da narrativa oral à transmídia; disso, percebe-se que a narrativa seriada sempre possuiu, em seu cerne, questões atreladas à sociedade em que está inserida. Em consequência, a série Game of Thrones se constitui, em nossa análise, uma grande metáfora da sociedade atual, palco de um amplo Jogo de Rainhas.
This dissertation analyzes women’s identities that represented on the TV series Game of Thrones through tree characters that are highlighted on the first season: Cersei Lannister, Catelyn Stark and Daenerys Targaryen. The relations between gender and identities are frequent in the communication discussions’ focus, because of the growth of the role of woman in society. The mass media and its products are fundamental to the diffusion of values and to give support to the individual so that he/she can build his/her identity, establish difference with the order, identify himself/herself and make projection. We look at the way of storytelling transformations – through a way that goes from oral narrative to transmedia; so, we can see that serial narrative always has, in its core, questions linked to the society it is inserted into. Therefore, Game of Thrones TV series is, in our analyze, a big actual society‘s metaphor, stage of a broad Game of Queens.
