Full textDet kulturella smalhetsidealet innebär negativa konsekvenser för individens psykologiska välbefinnande. Individen upplever en diskrepans mellan den ideala kroppsformen och hur de själva ser ut. Den sociala konstruktionen av den kvinnliga och manliga kroppen skapar olika villkor för kvinnor och män att förhålla sig till sin kropp som ett subjekt eller objekt. Syftet med föreliggande studie var att med hjälp av självskattningsskalor mäta upplevelse av objektifiering, body-esteem, restriktivt ätande och motionsvanor hos kvinnor (n= 61) och män (n= 53). Kvinnor upplever större objektifiering, har lägre body-esteem, äter oftare restriktivt samt motionerar oftare för att kontrollera vikten jämfört med män. Sambandet mellan objektifiering och body-esteem är negativt för kvinnor. Det tyder på att kvinnor är mer utsatta för objektifiering jämfört med män samt att objektifiering kan användas för att förstå kvinnors negativa body-esteem

Full textObjectification is one of the most common forms of discrimination towards women. Contemporary research in the subject is predominantly quantitative and has mostly been done on white women in a North American context. The aim of this study was therefore to examine black women’s experiences of objectification in Sweden. Seven semi-structured interviews were performed and analyzed through thematic analysis. The result ensued in three themes: Objectification – how, where, by whom?, To be an object and Resistance. The study’s result showed that the participants’ experiences have occurred as a consequence of patriarchal societal structures, combined with stereotypical conceptions and prejudice about black women. The most common form of objectification was having one’s appearance scrutinized and valuated through looks, comments or physical touches of those physical attributes which are stereotypical features of black women. Participants expressed that their experiences have, among other things, resulted in increased watchfulness, bodily consciousness and affected and changed relations. Lastly, the participants described strategies applied to handle the strain caused by objectification. The study emphasizes the importance of increased societal knowledge in regards of which factors enable the objectification of black women.

Full textThe beauty ideal constitutes a significant part of today's society. Beauty has throughout the time had a great impact on women in particular. The purpose of our paper is to study, understand and explain eight young women's experiences and attitudes towards society’s ideal of beauty, and what it is that makes them want to or go through beauty changes. The study has its starting point in our two questions: (1) How do young women experience the current beauty ideal? (2) What are the driving forces for young women to undergo beauty changes? This study, is a qualitative study based on semi-structured interviews with eight young women in Halmstad. Our theoretical perspective used are reflexivity of modern society, objectification and impression management. These theories will be the sociological analysis tools in order to understand and explain women's attitudes to the current ideal of beauty. The results indicated that the young women's experiences of the current ideal of beauty meant that the women should be young, slim, beautiful and fit. Today's current ideal of beauty proved to be the ideal that was considered most healthy, comparing to previous beauty ideals. The young women were very inspired by social media when it comes to beauty. The women were positive about cosmetic surgery and plastic surgery was considered out to be a tool to improve the appearance and enhance women's self-esteem and self-confidence.

Full textThe aim of this study is to understand how young female musicians describe their use of social media in order to claim power of their music carriers and what tactics they may use in representation of themselves. The research questions discussed are; which tactics use young female musicians on social media? What affect does the gender structures in the music industries have on the representation online? In what way does womens tactics depend on the music genre? Qualitative interviews have been made with five young female musicians to be able to answer the questions. The theoretical point of departure of this study is feministic and is divided in to three thematical parts; music, online presence and as a woman. The cultural diamond is used as an analytical tool. The result of this study shows that the music industry and its gender structures have a great impact on the young female musicians way of representing themselves online. The former structures of the industry has still a considerable role, even though the music industry has changed with internet and social media. The young females need to considerate how they want to be perceived by listeners, but also the by followers on Instagram. This happens with tactics similar to what other women use or through normative masculine representation. The women use not only one type of tactics,but are affected depending upon how they reflect over there social world, online or offline, and this is often tied to each other. It may seem that the young female musicians are aware that sexual objectified tactics may work to spread the music and take the power over their music career. But it is also common to use normative masculine attitudes and attributes. The choice of tactics is affected by genre but is mostly depending on how the females sees upon themselves as musicians as cultural objects. If the women sees themselves as solely musicians, then the tactic such as “the sexy chick” (Melin, 2015) is not used. Young women have to relate themselves as different from the prevailing norm in the music industry and therefor they need to use tactics on social media that enables a music career.

Full textWomen’s bodies are often used in advertising as decorative objects. They are oftendepicted in submissive roles and are usually presented as if their task is to satisfymen. This means that women in advertising are often objectified or sexualized, andthis type of advertising has increased since the 1960s. But this type of advertisinghas consequences. The sexualized ads can affect women's well-being and may implyself-objectification, eating disorders and depression, etc. The purpose of this studyis to understand consumers’ knowledge and attitude toward advertising directed tomen in which women are sexualized, as well as the consequences they include. Tostudy this, a qualitative method has been used in the form of a survey. A total of 438students at Högskolan Dalarna have answered questions based on a theoreticalframework within attitude regarding emotions, behavior and perception. The resultsdemonstrate a high level of knowledge and awareness about the subject. It alsoappears that the majority of consumers have a negative attitude towards sexualizedwomen in advertising directed to men. However, a difference was observed in howmen and women perceive advertising with sexualization where women tend to havea more negative attitude than men.

Full textThe focus of the study is fashion oriented advertising that has been analysed according to chosen criteria, which puts the study within the frames of textile management. The study aims to introduce the reader and give a background to the subject of choice by motivating the relevance of the study. Thereafter the problem formulation leads to a presentation of the purpose and research questions of the study. The purpose of the study is to describe and examine how women's portrayal as sex objects in luxury brand advertising affects consumers attitude toward a brand. Also differences between effects on men and women were examined. To gather the empirical findings we used an image analysis method and and an online-survey. The image analysis was made up of five different advertising images from luxury brands, that were later analysed with chosen criteria to grade an image based on how sexualised it was. The online-survey was based on these analyzed images, thereafter questions about brands were formed with inspiration from earlier studies. The sample was made up by Swedish clothing consumers, a stratified random sampling that we combined with snowball sampling. The findings of the study points to a majority of the participants being negatively affected by sexualised advertising. Which makes the consumers attitude toward a brand negative and changes their buying habits. Although the study also find that there are surprisingly many consumers who will continue buying products from a brand that use sexualised advertising, even though the consumers claim to have been negatively influenced. The differences that were found between men and women were that women seem to be more aware of sexualised advertising than men, and that there are far more women who intend to change their buying behavior to match their attitude toward a brand. A much larger portion of men answered that sexualised advertising do not affect their perception of the brand, compared to women. Although some of the respondents, both genders, are willing to continue buying from the brands that affected them negatively. For further research we suggest to examine this topic from a corporate perspective to understand how the companies that use this type of sexalized advertising are thinking.

Full textThis study, written by Natalia Sener and Linnéa Johnson, aims to investigate how young women experience their bodies being sexualized and how the phenomenon is reflected in social media. The empirics are collected through six semi structured interviews with young women who share their own thoughts and experiences about sexualization and social media and how these affect each other. The study is based on a theory of objectification by Fredrickson and Roberts, Young's model for oppression, and West and Zimmerman's theory of gender practices. The study results show that young women are widely influenced by ideals and sexualized bodies on social media. Respondents consider that women's bodies are examined and judged by third parties. Social media becomes an arena for maintaining existing structures, but at the same time visualizing them in order to counteract them. Some respondents have even taken active choices to avoid being exposed to sexualized material. Furthermore, the result illustrates how women today, in opposition, use social media to counteract ideals and normative trends regarding their appearance.

Full textGangsterrapen har toppat de svenska musiklistorna de senaste åren och musikgenrens kontroversiella budskap har fått människor i samhället att ifrågasätta vad gangsterrapens budskap förmedlar. Syftet med studien är att undersöka på vilket sätt en normalisering och uppmuntran av kriminalitet präglas i de nutida låttexterna och hur män och kvinnor skildras i koppling till samhällets maktaspekter. Metodvalet är en kvalitativ tematisk och språklig innehållsanalys med syftet att kunna granska låttexternas betydelse på djupet. Studien har genomförts på de 24 låtarna som har streamats flest antal gånger enligt P3’s DigiLista sedan 2018. Av resultatet framkommer att gangsterrapen uppmuntrar och romantiserar kriminalitet genom dess val av personliga pronomen och semantiken i låttexterna. Kvinnor och män skildras på ett ojämlikt sätt, där kvinnor framställs som objektifierade gentemot den hegemoniska manligheten som maskulina män likställs med. Makt har påvisats vara ett dominerande begrepp genom hela resultatanalysen och maktaspekten har förmedlat olika synvinklar i respektive tema. Makten som gangsterraparna får genom deras eftertraktade musik bidrar till att de kan komma att uppmuntra till kriminella handlingar genom deras val av språkbruk.

Full textResearch shows a long history of sexualization and objectification of women in advertising. What research has not focused on is sexualized violence in commercials. This study is a merger of the research fields gender and violence in advertising. The study wants to find out if sexualized violence is used in the portrayal of women in the advertising and the male gaze perspective. The study uses qualitative semiotic analysis to investigate if sexualized violence occurs in six commercials from three major fashion companies. The commercials are from Calvin Klein, Diesel and Tom Ford 2016 and 2017. The theoretical framework for the analysis is Hirdman’s, among others, gender theory, Ekman and Mulvey’s the male gaze and semiotics in the form of Barthes’ four key points for connotation and Goffman’s categories for gender advertisement. The analysis shows that women are objectified and sexualized in commercials and are illustrated as sex objects. This sexualization and objectification results in signs that sexualized violence is normalized in society.

Full textDenna studie har undersökt representationen av hästar i spelen Star Stable 1: Autumn Riders och Dragon Age: Inquisition genom ett ekokritiskt perspektiv med hjälp av närläsning, samt hur representationen av hästar kan vara objektifierande. Genom att framställa ridning som det primära med hästar så prioriterar speldesignen en antropocentrisk vinkel där hästens värde kopplas till vad de kan göra för människan. Detta perspektiv kan ses i bristen på beteenden hos hästen som inte kan kopplas till ridning, bristen på icke ridbara hästar samt i spelens gränssnitt och språkbruk. I Dragon Age: Inquisition kan det även ses i spelets extradiegetiska “call mechanic”. Star Stable 1: Autumn Riders inkluderar viss speldesign som representerar subjektivitet i hästar, till exempel porträtterar spelets hästars autonomi genom att inte låta hästarna lyda spelaren till fullo samt att inkludera alternativ för spelaren angående hästomsorg. Studiens slutsats poängterar att genom att representera hästar som subjekt snarare än objekt så kan speldesigners skapa en spelkänsla av respekt och samarbete hos spelaren och att det finns utrymme för framtida studier av hästar i spel att forska om emotionell design.

Full textThe purpose of this thesis was to examine the relationship between feelings and visualizations of climate change. A case study was done on visualizations of climate change from a web page concerning climate change published by the Swedish newspaper Expressen and from the American photographer Gary Braasch’s web page “World view of global warming”. The thesis is based on the article ”Emotional anchoring and objectification in the media reporting on climate change” by Birgitta Höijer. I have been aiming to understand the feelings of fear, hope, guilt, compassion and nostalgia through semiotic theories of icon, index and symbol.
Previous research has proven the difficulties in bringing the issue of climate change up on the public agenda – which is connected to the difficulties of visualizing climate change. The nature of climate change being slow and hard to spot on an individual level has been highlighted as a cause of both of these difficulties. Pictures and photos have in this thesis been seen as the “interface” between science and the public – and hence decoders of the science of climate change. Höijer’s article about feelings has been used to understand this process of decoding.
The results show that the analyzed material could be linked to and described by the semiotic theories of icon, index and symbol. The emotional anchoring found in the material and the semiotic application have been shown to work complementarily with each other, leading to a broader understanding of the material’s relationship to social cognitions. The results further demonstrated that context is essential in some of the analyzed visualizations of climate change. Generic pictures found in the material could have been regarded as icon, index or symbol of other messages – but is through its contexts anchored with feelings, and becomes visualizations of climate change. The analysis also suggests that if icons of nature could be connected with feelings – so could nature itself. The consequences are speculated to lead to objectification of nature and ecophobia. By objectifying nature and using generic pictures, the material’s relationship to the concepts of “truth” and “myth” is questioned.
In conclusion, understanding of the analyzed material is advantageously achieved through complementary use of Höijers emotional categories and the semiotic theories of icon, index and symbol.
