The document discusses stereotypes and how gender is represented in media. It defines stereotypes as oversimplified assumptions about social groups that can justify discrimination. Theorist Stuart Hall believes stereotypes in media reflect societal power inequalities by subordinating certain groups. The document also defines gender as a social construct distinct from biological sex. It examines how media often relies on stereotypical portrayals of masculinity and femininity, emphasizing traits like strength for men and beauty/relationships for women. Finally, theorist Liesbet Van Zoonen argues gender is constructed through media's visual and narrative codes in ways that reflect patriarchal values.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. WHAT ARE STEREOTYPES?
Assumptions that are held about a social group.
They are often used in a negative or prejudicial
sense and are frequently used to justify certain
discriminatory behaviours.
Stereotyping is an important concept in terms of
representation.
4. STEREOTYPING INVOLVES:
• Simplification
• Exaggeration or distortion
• Generalisation
• Presentation of cultural attributes as being
'natural'.
Does it matter?
Which theorist thinks stereotyping is political?
5. Recap: STUART HALL
• Representations in texts are established through
media language.
• Media Representations are often reliant upon
stereotypes which reduce social groups to
simplistic characteristics or traits.
• These stereotypes reflect inequalities in power
leading to the subordination of certain social
groups (e.g. ethnic minorities, women
6. THE COUNTERTYPE
• A positive stereotype.
• Focuses on positive elements of a group traditionally
represented as bad.
• Still an oversimplification of the enormous diversity
featured with the group.
12. WHAT IS GENDER?
"Sex" refers to the biological and physiological
characteristics that define men and women.
"Gender" refers to the socially constructed roles,
behaviours, activities, and attributes that a given
society considers appropriate for men and women.
(Taken from http://www.who.int/gender/whatisgender/en/)
...and transgender should be part of this too.
14. Gender construction in childhood
• Consider birthday cards and girls/boys
magazines.
• What do these say about what it means to be a
boy/girl? What do boys like and what do girls
like?
15. Masculinity and femininity
• How does society treat people who do not
conform to gender norms (i.e. men who are
feminine and women who are masculine)?
• So what is our society's dominant ideology
about gender (i.e. what gender attributes and
behaviours are valued most in our society on
the whole)?
16. Masculinity and femininity
Gender and representation of gender is tied up
with ideas of masculinity and femininity...
Are the following ideas about the representation
of men and women reinforced by what you
found in the adverts?
17. Old Adverts
• The ads we passed round in class show the
importance of historical and cultural contexts
when considering representations and how
we read media texts
• They also reveal that ideas about gender
behaviours and attitudes ARE constructed
• A lot has changed – see this Mercedes ad
HERE and identify these differences
18. Media Representations of Men
'Masculinity' is a concept that is made up of more
rigid stereotypes than femininity. Representations
of men across all media tend to focus on the
following:
• Strength - physical and intellectual
• Power
• Sexual attractiveness (which may be based on
the above)
• Physique
• Independence (of thought, action, finances)
19. Media Representations of
• Male characters are often represented as isolated, as
not needing to rely on others (the lone hero). If they
submit to being part of a family, it is often part of the
resolution of a narrative, rather than an integral factor
in the initial balance.
• It is interesting to note that the male physique is
becoming more important a part of representations of
masculinity.
20. Media Representations of Women
Representations of women across all media tend to
highlight the following:
• beauty (within narrow conventions)
• size/physique (again, within narrow conventions)
• sexuality (as expressed by the above)
• emotional (as opposed to intellectual) dealings
• relationships (as opposed to independence/
freedom)
21. Media Representations of Women
• Women are often represented as being part of a
context (family, friends, colleagues) and
working/thinking as part of a team. In drama,
they tend to take the role of helper (Propp) or
object, passive rather than active.
• Often their passivity extends to victimhood. Men
are still represented as TV drama characters up to
3 times more frequently than women, and tend
to be the predominant focus of news stories.
23. LIESBET VAN ZOONEN
• Gender is constructed through media language and
these constructions reflect cultural and historical
contexts
• The ‘objectification’ of the female body is a key
construct of western culture
• The visual and narrative codes (media languages) used to
represent the male body differ – reflecting patriarchal
society
• WATCH, and list the 7 aspects of Van Zoonen’s theory:

24. SUMMARY: THINK: So what??
• Why do representations matter?
• So what if gender is represented in the media
stereotypical ways?
• Write an answer in your books in response to
these questions
