Abstract:

The research discussed a different representations of femininity through the villainesses and heroines in two Korean webtoons (web cartoons). Traditionally, villainesses were depicted as undesirable antagonists as they did not fit into the frame of traditional femininity or were merely viewed as sexually attractive. However, the traditional aspects of femininity were now contested by the villainess protagonists. Utilizing Butler’s theory of gender performativity along with Kress and van Leeuwen’s visual analysis, the protagonists’ and antagonists’ thoughts, actions, and appearance were analyze

Abstract:

Written in 1987 in response to the aids emergency unfolding in the United States, Leo Bersani’s “Is the Rectum a Grave?” is often described as an early entry into the strain of queer theory that offers queerness as tarrying in abjection, failure, and antisociality. This essay, however, is much more interested in thinking about the ways Bersani mobilizes connections to femininity in “Is the Rectum a Grave?” As Bersani moves from “women and gay men” to “average, law-abiding family” to “being a woman,” femininity haunts, each of these individual nodes further illuminating an insight about feminin

Abstract:

When Helle Thorning-Schmidt in 2011 became the first female Prime Minister in Denmark, this “victory for the women” was praised in highly celebratory tones in Danish newspapers. The celebration involved a paradoxical representation of gender as simultaneously irrelevant to politics and – when it comes to femininity – in need of management. Based on an analysis of the newspaper coverage of the election, I argue that highlighting gender (in)equality as either an important political issue or as something that conditions the possibilities of taking up a position as politician was evaluated as a pe

Abstract:

According to gender role congruity theory, women, compared to men, underperform in masculine negotiations because these negotiations are incongruent with women’s gender role. Based on this framework, we developed two gender-relevant primes—a masculine-supplement prime and a feminine-complement prime—that address role incongruity and should improve women’s economic performance by either supplementing masculinity or complementing femininity. In Study 1, physicians ( N = 78; 50% women) in an executive education program engaged in a masculine-supplement prime, which involved recalling agentic beha

Abstract:

When I started the doctorate programme in 2002 I had a long-standing interest in vanitas paintings, both historical and contemporary. This developed into an interest in creating contemporary iconic images of celebrity personalities. I also started to explore ways of portraying 'iconic unknowns', which involved transforming ordinary, working women into modem icons. In the first year I was interested in celebrity icons, such as David and Victoria Beckham, Kylie Minogue and Cher. I was interested to portray these celebrities as more anonymous as people, but more familiar as brand images . . Also

Abstract:

In this study it is argued that femininity is mediated by historical and cultural factors. I explore how rapid changes in the social structure of Icelandic society have introduced challenges to many cultural constructions. The theoretical framework draws from the work of Michel Foucault, in particular the idea that the individual emerges through the practices and discourses s/he is constituted in, and that these incur power relations. Several entrance points have been selected into the Icelandic culture and its ideas of femininity. One is through a random sample of 209 obituaries, published fr

Abstract:

Elizabeth Tudor succeeded to England's throne during a time when misogynist societal ideology questioned the authority of a female monarch. Religious opposition to a woman ruler was based on biblical precedent, which reflected the general attitude that women were inferior to men. Elizabeth's dilemma was reconciling her femininity with her sovereignty, most notably concerning her justification for power, the issue of marriage and succession, and the conflict over the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots. The speeches Elizabeth presented to Parliament illuminate her successful solidification of her

La presente tesi è incentrata sul tema della femminilità nell’American Trilogy di Philip Roth. L'introduzione cerca di illustrare il modo in cui Roth mette in discussione le identità femminili come parte di cambiamenti sociali e storici e come manifestazioni dell'identità nazionale americana. Ogni capitolo è dedicato rispettivamente ad uno dei tre romanzi, con una descrizione accurata di tutto ciò che riguarda i personaggi femminili: dagli abiti, ai discorsi, alle condizioni psichiche. Nonostante la quantità di letture critiche che associano la trilogia a una prospettiva misogina, questo studi

Abstract:

This dissertation is a discourse analytic study of how women talk about reading women’s magazines, and is based on interviews with forty women. I examine the ways in which my informants construct the nature of the magazines and their target readers, and how they position themselves in relation to the perceived target reader. In doing so I explore how, and to what extent, women’s negotiation of their own identities is mediated by popular images and discourse of femininity. Firstly, I examine the way many women ‘talk themselves out’ of the target readership of the magazines they read. To do so t

What part does clothing play in their understanding of personhood and in particular the interconnection of gender, age, class, ethnicity and sexuality?

Schor and Leslie Salzinger The white wedding, the dominant form of marriage ritual in America, is a key site for the study of gender inequality because it ritualizes, dramatizes and makes pleasurable patriarchal gender relations. While men and women are becoming more equal in education, the labor force and other social institutions, many women are opting for a traditional, highly gendered wedding ritual.

Abstract:

The evaluation of physical attractiveness has been reported to be related to the psychological process for detecting associated physiological health and fertility features. The femininity of the female gait is also associated with its attractiveness. However, it is unclear whether femininity is always attractive in female gait and what physical characteristics are perceived as being attractive and/or feminine. In this study, we aimed to understand the root of the attractiveness of human movement by examining the relationship between perceived attractiveness and femininity in female gait. First
