Abstract

Media Depictions of Brides, Wives, and Mothers, edited by Alena Amato Ruggerio, explores how television, film, the internet, and other media variously perpetuate gender stereotypes. The contributors to this volume bring a variety of feminist rhetorical and media criticism approaches from across the communication discipline to their analyses of how media shape our expectations of the performance of women's domestic roles.

Abstract

Der thematische Fokus dieses Sammelbandes liegt auf den scheinbaren Abweichungen von der Norm, der diskursiven Vermittlung "schöner" Körper durch Bild und Text sowie auf den Methoden der Körperinszenierung und -optimierung. Neue Aspekte hinsichtlich dominanter heteronormativer Körpernormen und alltägliche Schönheitspraktiken werden in den Artikeln und in künstlerischen Auseinandersetzungen beleuchtet. Gesellschaftliche Normansprüche reichen in ihrer Wirkungsmacht weit hinein in die private Sphäre. "Schönheit" ist im gesellschaftlichen Diskurs ein fest verankertes Motiv, das über privaten als auch beruflichen Erfolg mitentscheiden kann. Dick, dünn, behaart, unbehaart, jung, alt, männlich, weiblich oder irgendwie dazwischen: Das Äußere wird normiert, reguliert und manipuliert. Während die Privatheitsideologie das Motto "Mein Körper gehört mir" ins Negative verkehrt und damit freiwillige chirurgische Eingriffe zur eigenen äußerlichen Optimierung rechtfertigt, werden in vielen Fällen intergeschlechtliche Menschen zu einer körpernormalisierenden Operation gezwungen. Dieser Band will für die Widersprüchlichkeit neoliberaler Anrufungen sensibilisieren und Reflexionsprozesse anregen, um widerständige feministische Positionen zu schaffen. .

Abstract

The past decades have witnessed considerable developments in Translation Studies and, particularly, a growing interest in the cultural and ideological differences engendered by the act of translating. More recently, Audiovisual Translation has also experienced an impressive growth in terms of research developments and applications. This book focuses on the role that cinematic language and audiovisual translation play in the transmission of stereotypes concerning gender, sexuality, ethnicity and economic status. While it helps identify the gender bias embedded in language and how this is then manipulated during the dubbing transfer, this book also addresses other considerations such as the role of the audiovisual translators, the triggers which reinforce the androcentric views already present in films, and the influence on the translators of ideological and political constraints. For this reason it is of interest to both the academic community and the wider public who may still be the target of gender discrimination themselves and/or are sensitive to gender issues.

Abstract

Since the 1970s the feminization thesis has become a powerful trope in the rewriting of the social history of Christendom. However, this 'thesis'' has triggered some vehement debates, given that men have continued to dominate the churches, and the churches themselves have reacted to the association of religion and femininity, often formulated by their critics, by explicitly focusing their appeal to men. In this book the authors critically reflect upon the use of concepts like feminization and masculinization in relation to Christianity. By presenting case studies that adopt different gendered
