Media Magazine Reading   1) What examples are provided from the two texts of the 'male gaze' (Mulvey)? - Pan Am - Beyoncé  2) Do texts such as these show there is no longer a need for feminism or are they simply sexism in a different form? - It could be argued that Pan Am and Beyoncé show sexism as they reinforce the ideas of sexism in the past. For example, they both showcase the 1950s housewife persona where at that time the women would stay home and clean and cook. Also the outfit in Pan Am is sexualised to appeal to the male gaze. 3) Choose three words/phrases from the glossary of the article and write their definitions on your blog. - Feminism – A movement aimed at defining, establishing, and defending women’s rights and equality to men. - Post-feminism – An ideology in culture and society that society is somehow past needing feminism and that the attitudes and arguments of feminism are no longer needed.

DAVID GAUNTLETT AND MASCULINITY

-
David Gauntlett: academic reading 1) What examples does Gauntlett provide of the "decline of tradition"? - The  traditional view of a woman as a housewife or low-status worker has been kick-boxed out of the  picture by the feisty, successful 'girl power' icons.  -T he masculine ideals of absolute  toughness, stubborn self-reliance and emotional silence have been shaken by a new emphasis on  men's emotions, need for advice, and the problems of masculinity. 2) How does Gauntlett suggest the media influences the way we construct our own identities? - I n late modern societies everyone  wants to 'live their own life', but this is, at the same time, 'an experimental life'. Since the  social world is no longer confident in its traditions, every approach to life, whether seemingly radical  or conventional, is somewhat risky and needs to be worked upon. 3) What does Gauntlett suggest regarding generational differences? Is it a good thing that the media se...
