  8. Critical perspectives on gender – Liesbet van Zoonen -Overview & Prep for Assessment Lesson 1, Term 2

    Gender construction and context; “to-be-looked-at-ness” and the gaze, patriarchal ideology, construction of representations through codes.

    ‘[There is] a depressing stability in the articulation of women’s politics and communication . . . The underlying frame of reference is that women belong to the family and domestic life and men to the social world of politics and work; that femininity is about care, nurturance and compassion, and that masculinity is about efficiency, rationality and individuality.’ – Van Zoonen


    Van zoonen table:
    Women Men
    Marginalised (or absent)
    Efficient
    Domesticated Rational
    Sexualised Individual
    Emotional Intellectual
    Nurturer (domestic sphere) Public sphere



    Van zoonen Argues that there is a “variety of feminist Discourse” and identifies 3 distinct perspectives
    • Read the paragraphs from Van Zoonen’s essay “Feminist Perspectives on the Media”.

    Pages 33 - 37, Feminist Perspectives on the Media in Mass Media and Society (Curran and Gurevitch) Arnold (1996) –available via following link:

    https://is.muni.cz/el/1423/jaro2009/GEN125/um/Zoonen-Feminist_Perspectives_on_the_Media.pdf

    • What does she suggest are the key differences between a:
    liberal feminist perspective?
    radical feminist perspective?
    socialist feminist perspective?




    Final key points on Van Zoonen:


    1. gender is constructed and that its meaning varies dependent on cultural and historical context. Essentially, the mass media is keen to promote the hegemonic patriarchy and does so-consciously or otherwise.
    2. She suggests that masculinity as well as femininity is constructed – and that the codes used to construct men ‘as a spectacle’ are different.
    3. Masculine representation:


    males constructed through movement (active)
    • silence and impassivity
    • strength, muscularity and aggression
    • competition – males as gladiators or combatants – ‘the spectacle’
    • constructed more through the intradiegetic gaze – the way they are looked at by other characters (e.g. with respect/fear)
    • allows narcissistic identification without erotic gaze
