Abstract:
This essay examines how Anderson’s Speak can be used in the Swedish Upper Secondary classroom to talk about the difficult topics ‘sexism’ and ‘sexual assault’. The paper discusses several examples of where the power structures between the genders affect the main character of Speak. The novel contains a connection to Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, which is also discussed in this essay, focusing on the timelessness of the issues discussed. The conclusion is that the difficult topics in Speak are important to discuss in the classroom, because a functional way of battling sexism is through vocali

Abstract:
This thesis seeks to investigate the factors that cause the existing sexism within the educational system in the banlieue (suburban districts mostly comprised of North African immigrants), and the societal prejudice that exists between the society of the descendants of the immigrant population and the rest of French society. This thesis explores Jean-Paul Lilienfeld’s film, La Journée de la jupe, which highlights the major inequalities within the French educational system and stereotypes of the banlieue. The narrowed focus of this thesis is on the inequalities between women and men, which caus

Abstract:
Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis, arguably the most famous Brazilian author, has been studied perhaps more than any other figure in Brazilian literature. Because Machado's novels are so exceptional, many of his good short stories have been neglected by scholars, particularly those categorized by some as “fantastic.” This study attempts to fill that gap by analyzing the most prominent female characters in Machado's fantastic fiction. After providing a brief overview of the term fantastic and explaining how the stories used qualify as fantastic, this study identifies several tropes into which the

Abstract:
It seems self-evident that novels and other literary forms profoundly influence the way we think, feel and learn about society. However, while a number of studies have acknowledged the importance of textbooks used within the school curriculum, few have examined novels that are studied within the high school English program. Thus this thesis focuses on gender-bias found in a study of 21 novels identified as those most commonly used in the high schools of the Lakeshore School Board. The results show significant gender imbalance in all categories: the number of female authors, characters, voices,

Tanken med uppsatsen är alltså att belysa kön och ålders betydelse för hur man skildrar och betraktar sexuella relationer. Jag har därför valt att analysera fyra skönlitterära verk, där kvinnan respektive mannen är den äldre parten i relationen, och den skildras ur kvinnan respektive mannens perspektiv. På grund av fokuseringen på könsskillnader är det alltså främst heterosexuella relationer som behandlas, men även överträdelser från detta inom verken är av stor vikt. Jag kommer även analysera hur verken mottagits, vilka diskussioner som kommits att föras om dem inom kritiken. För att rättvisa

Abstract:
Sex-role socialisation begins from the day a child is born, and permeates all aspects of his or her life. As the child develops s/he gradually comes to acquire the behaviours and attitudes deemed appropriate for his or her gender. These behaviours begin to appear as early as three years, when a child's choice of play items becomes sex-typed. This development is the product of changes effected in child's behaviour via reinforcement (positive or negative) by the modelling and influence of significant others (especially parents, peers and the mass media). Such behavioural change is accompanied by

This study analyses the ways in which gender relations are expressed and articulated through the use of folk proverbs amongst Pashto-speaking people of Pakistan. Previous work on Pashto proverbs have romanticised proverbs as a cultural asset and a source of Pashtun pride and ethnic identity, and most studies have aimed to promote or preserve folk proverbs. However, there is little recognition in previous literature of the sexist and gendered role of proverbs in Pashtun society.

James Thurber, along with others who wrote for The New Yorker magazine, developed the 'little man' comic figure. The little man as a central character was a shift from earlier nineteenth-century traditions in humor. This twentieth-century protagonist was a comic antihero whose function was to create sympathy rather than scorn and bring into question the values and behaviors of society rather than affirm them, as earlier comic figures did. The little man was urban, inept, frustrated, childlike, suspicious, and stubborn. His female counterpart was often a foil: confident and controlling enough t

Using a dialectical relationship between the text and the reader, this project demonstrates that mutual love depends on access to language that can express love and sexuality.

Abstract:
The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between media, language and gender stereotypes. It assumes that language usage in mass media creates and reproduces gender inequalities. Its main objectives are firstly, to randomly select terms for Zulu women from the chosen TV case study, Kwakhalanyonini. Secondly, selected terms will be analyzed, using the 'transvaluative analysis technique', in order to explain their meaning and hierarchy. This having been done, an attempt will be made to show how the usage of these terms reflect gender stereotypes, by locating women into subordinate pos

Dissertação de Mestrado em Estudos Ingleses apresentada à Universidade Aberta<br>Uma introdução que dá a conhecer o background literário de Jeanette Winterson introduz os tópicos e as teorias que subjazem à argumentação desenvolvida ao longo da dissertação. A anti-linearidade, a intertextualidade, o Pós-Modernismo ou a construção da identidade constituem vectores centrais na abordagem às obras da autora. A crítica literária parece responder em uníssono à questão que pretende categorizar a obra literária da autora. O Pós-Modernismo é uma estética recorrentemente associada a Winterson, nomeada

Dissertação de mestrado em European Master in Lexicography<br>The problem of gender bias in dictionaries has been lately getting more and more attention in the public as well as academic discourse, as numerous examples of gender stereotypes found on dictionary pages have been reported and discussed not only in the academic communities, but also in newspapers, social media and other news outlets. However, this problem has hardly been researched in Russian lexicography. This master dissertation aims at analysing major monolingual dictionaries of Russian, published during 20th – 21st centuri

Abstract:
Um dos tópicos mais discutidos na literatura relativa à interseção de fenómenos gramaticais e do género humano é a análise de nomes Masculinos Genéricos (MG). Nas línguas de género gramatical, os MG são formas linguísticas nas quais o género é marcado morfossintaticamente, exibindo a marcação dos traços [+Humano], [+Masculino] e [+Plural], mas cuja semântica é ambígua, podendo significar coletivos de homens, na sua interpretação específica, ou coletivos de homens e de mulheres, na sua interpretação genérica.

Abstract:
Le roman, Les Violettes rouges, met en scène une jeune femme cherchant vengeance à l'époque de la conquête de l'Ouest américain. Il joue sur les codes du western, tout en les transgressant, puisque le héros cow-boy et vengeur est une femme, Lou. Plus libre encore que les héros du western traditionnel, Lou s'approprie des éléments du « masculin » et du « féminin » pour incarner un corps puissant et sensuel qui sera vecteur de violence. Les systèmes hiérarchiques et injustes érigés par l'homme blanc se voient ébranlés par les actes de révolte de Lou. L'essai L'échec du système des genres dans La

This thesis investigates the trajectory traced from Sarah Baartman, a Khoisan woman exploited in Europe during the nineteenth century, to a contemporary writing workshop with circumcised, immigrant West African women in Harlem New York by way of a selection of African women's memoirs. The selected African women's texts used in this work create a new testimony of speech, fragmenting a historically dominant Euro-American gaze on African women's bodies. The e
