Adam G. Katz, Jackson. Advertising and the Construction of Violent White Masculinity: From Eminem to Clinique for Men. 349-358.

Adam Gonzalez
10/12/07
Gender and Pop Culture 220
Advertising and the construction of violent white masculinity. Katz

Description
• Long before 9/11, violence was and still is one off the most pervasive and serious domestic problems in the United States. (349)

Analysis
• Discussions about racial representation in media tend to focus on African Americans, Asians, and Hispanics. (350)
• Violent behavior is considered masculine. (350)
• Men are positioned as sexy because they possess a certain aggressive attitude. (351)
• Violent behavior for men is in mainstream advertising in numerous ways. (352)
• Music industry has produced numerous male artists who embody all sorts of violent angers and resentments. (352)
• Military ads and sports portray violence and masculinity as a good thing. (355)

Vision
• We need to develop a much more sophisticated approach to understanding cultural constructions of masculinity. (357)

Strategy
• We need to examine critically areas where violent masculinities are produced and legitimated. (357)

Dave P. Henley & Freeman. The Sexual Politics of Interpersonal Behavior. 88-93.

David Pica
8/7/07 WGS-220-05
Henley & Freeman. The Sexual Politics of Interpersonal Behavior. 88-93.

Description:
Male privileges and superior status is seen throughout society in all aspects. (Pg 84-85)

Analysis:
Women become inferior to men that they don’t know their status in society but they are constantly being reminded that they work under the man. (Pg 84)
Male doctors operate while female nurses assist. (Pg 84)
At lunch time restaurants arepopulated with female table servers who wait on men. (Pg 84)
Dominance is shown by having more space. Women yield to men when coming into close proximity. (Pg 87)

Vision: “Implied” Women don’t have to conform to society and become submissive. (Pg-91)

Strategy: “Implied” The author believes that women need to express their feeling through verbal communication with the opposite sex. Also they can use behavior that gives them strength even if it’s not associated with women. (Pg 91)

Dave P. Hall, “The Whites of Their Eyes: Racist Ideologies & the Media”, 89-93.

David Pica
8/13/07 WGS-220-05
Hall, “The Whites of Their Eyes: Racist Ideologies & the Media”, 89-93.

Description: Media displays images of racism. (Pg 89)

Analysis:
The media shows us what race is, and what the problem is with racism. (Pg 90)
A lot of the images of racism are shown without consciously knowing the image shown. (Pg 90)
The author talks about overt racism. This is when the news reporter or spokesmen openly elaborate on a racist argument or view. (Pg 91)
Movies and TV shows have images of racism like the “slave figure”, or “native” the people don’t concisely think about. (Pg 92)

Vision: Not Stated.

Strategy: Not Stated

Dave P. Friere, Pedagogy of the Oppressed (section from Friere's work)

David Pica
8/17/07
WGS-220-05
Friere, Pedagogy of the Oppressed
Description:
The problem is the liberation of the oppressed (Pg 6).
Analysis:
The oppressed find themselves wanting to be the oppressor. They desire the role of the oppressor (Pg 8).
It’s a hard task for the oppressed to liberate themselves and the oppressors as well (Pg 6).
The oppressed internalize the image of the oppressor and become fearful of freedom (Pg 8).
Vision:
“Implied”- The oppressed must perceive the vision that the reality of freedom is not closed (Pg 12).
Strategy:
“Implied”- The oppressed and oppressed must fight together to liberate themselves( Pg 15-17).

Natalie H. Katz. Kirkham & Weller. Cosmetics, A Clinique Case Study. 268-273.

Natalie Hage
Friday October 12, 2007
Gender & Popular Culture WGS 220 05
Kirkham & Weller. Cosmetics, A Clinique Case Study. 268-273.

Description:

• Companies want the consumer to associate the quality of their advertising with the quality of the product itself (268).

• The way in which men's and women's toiletries and makeup products are presented to the public consumer – read, produced and circulated - sets a large binary that conform to the typical 'masculine' and 'feminine' identities (269).

Analysis:

• Color is a commonly used gendering technique that strongly reinforces the stereotypes handed to the sexes (269).

• The goal is to add seriousness and masculinity to otherwise effeminate cosmetics and toiletries being sold to men(269).

• Advertisements for women's products usually contain little to no information about the product itself. Advertisements for men explain the product, 'rationalizing it' and even defending a male's use of such cosmetics (271).

Vision:

• The boundaries made between 'male' and 'female' products is so heavy and needs to be broken down.
• Sellers shouldn't have to do so much just to overcome obstacles so their products will simply be accepted by the public consumer.

Strategy:

• The visual and literary components of advertisements could be more discreet in their gender roles and less differentiating between 'masculinity' and what is considered 'feminine' (273).

Natalie H. Katz. Advertising and the construction of violent white masculinity. 249-358.

Natalie Hage
Friday October 12, 2007
Gender & Popular Culture WGS 220 05
Katz. Advertising and the construction of violent white masculinity. 249-358.

Description:

• Violence in America is, and has been for decades, a "pervasive and serious domestic problem" and the media only serves to strengthen the matter.

• Media's exhibitions construct 'violence' as defining white males and even normalize it as what is considered 'masculine'.

Analysis:

• Discussions about different dominant groups lie within media representations, such as the strong and commonly used focus on African Americans (250).

• 'White manhood' has been strongly defined as multinational corporations basically sell people's identities in advertisements (350).

• Working class men are fighters for power, dominance and control. For men, muscular physiques are popular to have and aggressive attitudes are considered sexy. (351). This is perhaps one of the reasons why power and aggression is ultimately mistaken for violence in males, which is thereby depicted in products of the media such as video games, music, pro-wrestling and sports culture (352).

Vision:

• Males who struggle for a safe medium between masculinity and femininity must be accepted.
• Violence must be seen as a problem in our country and should not be used as a light way of depicting men in the media just to sell products.

Strategy:

• Realize the poor misrepresentations of characters of violence in the media

• Although appealing, ads containing domineering and aggressive men must be handled with care. Companies want the consumer to be attracted to the mens' 'intense/violent' appearances and assume a correlation with their product and masculinity.
