“No Honor in Honor Killings” Critical Discourse Analysis of the responses in social media to ‘Honor’ related killings events via Hashtag activism in the Arab-speaking region
No full textThe patriarchal societies in the MENA region have their entire social framework around the protection and regulation of female sexuality. The woman’s male relatives have to make sure that her honor is under their control and fulfills the patriarchal family demands. Women’s failure to stick to the code of honor may result in aggressive reactions that may mount to honor killings and this had happened in 2019 to Israa Gharyeb. The murder of the 21-year-old girl sent a shockwave of protests not just in the Palestinian society where the crime had happened but also across the Arab region. Activists on social media and the streets are sending a clear and strong message that murdering women will not be hidden anymore. Accordingly, this thesis sheds the light on the Twitter hashtag # كلنا_اسراء_غریب (we are all Israa) to reflect on the participants’ responses to both crime event and the traditional discourse on “Honor killings.” Theoretically, the paper offers a rereading of the theory of critical discourse analyses on the notions of ideology, power, and dominance. Empirically, this paper will analyze 460 tweets by conducting critical discourse analysis and qualitative content analysis
Selling Feminism: A study of Romanian women's attitudes to femvertising and brand activism
No full textThis study explores the impact of female empowering advertisements from a consumer’s perspective. The aim of this research is to investigate the influence of femvertising on the purchase intention and the attitude towards the brand. It also examines the emotional impact of femvertising.
This study used qualitative interviews with open ended questions in order to answer the research questions. The sample consisted of 20 Romanian women aged between 17 and 52 years old. They were asked to watch three female empowering ads and react to them. This study draws attention to the positive effects of femvertising. The findings confirmed that there is a higher chance to purchase the product after being exposed to femvertising. Also, after viewing the ads, a significant number of participants had a more positive attitude towards the brand. Femvertising also had a great positive emotional impact on its viewers, especially in the case of the brands Barbie and Reebok. Furthermore, the vast majority of participants considered sharing these ads on their social media or discussing them with their friends and family in order to support feminist values and teach others about gender equality. This research proves that female empowering advertisements are a powerful tool in marketing campaigns and they attract female customers. Therefore marketers should consider embracing these types of ads. This study is unique in the sense that it is the only one analysing the effect of femvertising on Romanian women by using qualitative interviews
Food Television and the processes of globalization
No full textThis paper presents the initiative to research on Food Television and the processes of
globalization. The research gap in the selected subject area is identified after an in-depth
literature review and watching the culinary documentary ‘Ugly Delicious’. According to
scholars globalization processes are influenced by the use of Media, as different channels
are transmitting values shared by globalization. Over the years, globalization has developed
sub-process such as cultural globalization, a term which refers to the merge of cultures and
the formation of a global one. The identified research gap is to translate how globalization
has been communicated in a culinary documentary. The title of the research is, therefore
“Food Television and the processes of globalization: How does ‘Ugly Delicious’ use
representations to portray cultural globalization?”, as it addresses the most pertinent
research gap. Using visual data, such as video, requires a qualitative approach in which the
content can be coded and later linked to theoretical knowledge. The role of the researcher
is to find examples or patterns that represent cultural globalization within the frame of the
two seasons of the documentary. The method which shapes this qualitative research is the
Grounded Theory approach. A coding sheet will be generated to present the process and
the logic of generating codes
”The Autonomy of Gertrude Stein”
No full text“I am always wanting to collaborate with someone,” wrote Gertrude Stein in Everybody’s Autobiography, and even if she never did become a great collaborator in her own time, there are important reasons for taking this claim of hers seriously. The collaborative impulse in Gertrude Stein’s written works is grounded in the many ways in which the interface of reading and writing (Lori Emerson, 2014) is kept open in her work – making all reading of her work a relational process – often taking the form of rewriting, restaging, recycling or remediation as is witnessed by the multiple artistic recyclings and remediations of Stein’s work that has appeared from 1950s until today. As has been shown by Barbara Will, the relational impulse in Stein’s poetics not only shakes the presumed autonomy of her writing, but also shakes the autonomy implied in the figure of the modernist genius, that Stein made strong claims upon (Will, 2000). When in 1933, at the age of 59, Gertrude Stein wrote her best seller, The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, she suddenly entered the scene of the rising modern celebrity cult, touring the US, lecturing, speaking on the radio and talking to newspapers, magazines and people all over the country. She thus became renown for her character, appearance and cultural performance, and perhaps less for her writing. Yet the experimental writing remains the essential quality of this public persona. It remains a sine qua non for Stein’s fame. Stein’s public persona was constituted through her “popular” writings in interaction with her more experimental ones as the later work appropriates, contextualizes and restages the earlier and invites readers to revisit it. But as Gertrude Stein became a literary star her public persona also became an integrated part of her work, and highly commodified, a fact she experienced at high personal costs. What I would like to zoom in on in this paper is not foremost how Stein’s poetry has been recycled in avant-garde art and high culture, but how a more popular dimension of Stein’s appropriation in contemporary culture has developed. Artists such as Andy Warhol and Marcel Duchamp are renown for recycling their own persona and reversioning themselves in their art. The persona of Gertrude Stein is being subjected to a similar reversioning after her death. Thus, the early American avant-garde theatrical reception of Stein (i.e. The Judson Poets Theatre, The Living Theatre) had the biographical persona of Stein incorporated into their work from the beginning, following from the way Stein’s persona was already crucial in the conception, staging and marketing of her first opera Four Saints In Three Acts. This course is continued today in a much broader appropriation of Stein’s poetry and oral catchphrases as well her photographic image and overall persona, creating a biographical kitsch cult around memorabilia and collector’s items, popular biographical representations in main stream theatre and film and cartoons – as well as an industry of pure Stein-commodities like mugs and buttons, paper dolls, stamps and tattoos etc. In this paper I want to ask what happens to our configurations of authorial autonomy when the author is being transformed into a commodity that is distributed into a range of cultural fields. Also, I wish to investigate how the presumed autonomy of Stein’s poetry responds when subjected to popular appropriation along with the Stein-persona and spread out into a diverse media ecological network (Fuller, 2005) that is transgressing beyond the strictly literary.</p
