Medijski prikaz sufražetskog pokreta

Prikaz žena u medijima tijekom povijesti oslanjao se na sliku žene kao majke, supruge i domaćice. U 19. stoljeću žene su se počele boriti za svoja prava želeći ostvariti i pravo glasa. To je izazvalo velike polemike i nemire u javnosti, a sufražetkinje su bile osuđivane i uhićivane. Njihova borba je trajala dugo, a neke žene su joj posvetile i svoj život. Ipak, sufražetski pokret je u 20. stoljeću rezultirao time da su žene ostvarile pravo glasa. Mediji su sufražetkinje prikazivali u negativnom kontekstu kao vandalistice koje svojim pretjerano ekstremnim i razdražljivim ponašanjem i nastupom uništavaju sve čega se domognu. U ovom završnom radu istražuje se medijski prikaz sufražetskog pokreta i nastoji se pokazati njegova važnost u borbi žena za pravo glasa

Diskursi feminizma i modernizma u esejima Julke Chlapec Đorđević i Jele Spiridonović-Savić

I start from the definition of Serbian Yugoslav bourgeois culture as a semi-peripheral and having this in mind, I tend to analyze the essays by Julka Chlapec Đorđević and Jela Spiridonović-Savić, from the perspective of the world systemic theories applied to literature.I start from the definition of Serbian Yugoslav bourgeois culture as a semi-peripheral and having this in mind, I tend to analyze the essays by Julka Chlapec Đorđević and Jela Spiridonović-Savić, from the perspective of the world systemic theories applied to literature

Does more Feminism mean less Nationalism?

This research explores the extent of feminism and nationalism in peacetime Serbia and also the correlation between. Theories suggest these two systems of thought to be incompatible with each other, even exclusive. If someone is in fact a supporter of nationalist ideas, it is unlikely for this person to also have feminist sympathies. Insights obtained by reviewing and analyzing existing national data on how much support the Serbian people have for nationalist and feminist ideas gives an understanding of to what point the ideologies are widespread across the country. A field study in Belgrade, composed by surveys and interviews, has also been conducted to examine the validity of the alleged negative correlation between the two systems of thought. The research ultimately reveals, on the national level, higher percentage of respondents being against both feminist and nationalist ideas than in favor of them. On the local Belgrade level, the study highlights the reoccurring incident of participants shown indecisive of their opinions towards either system of thought. Simultaneously, aforementioned theories were proven likely valid since results from the local surveys in Belgrade yet showed an incompatibility of participants being both feminist and nationalist at the same time

Utopija i njezini doprinosi suvremenim razmatranjima roda

U radu se raspravlja o pojmu i povijesti utopije, pri čemu se naglasak stavlja na moderne oblike utopija rodne tematike. Iako bi se moglo reći da je utopijsko mišljenje imanentno čovjeku, danas se riječ „ utopija“ koristi mahom u pejorativnom značenju tlapnje i/ili političke zamisli čije ostvarenje nužno vodi u neki oblik totalitarizma. Takva su određenja utopije iznikla iz etimoloških, povijesnih i idejnih nedoumica vezanih uz utopijske teorijske i praktične tvorevine. Opisujući utopiju pojmovima kritike, nade i mašte te ju vezujući uz pojam Mannheimove aktivne utopije u njoj je moguće pronaći elemente za suočavanje s modernim rodnim i ekološkim problemima. Kao primjer su dane feminističke utopije u kojima se testiraju razne rodne teorije i prakse te predlažu rješenja za stvaranje ne idealnih i dovršenih, već poboljšanih svjetova, odnosno svjetova koji dopuštaju poboljšanje. (IN ENGLISH: This article discusses the concept and history of utopia with an emphasis on the modern forms of gender utopias. Although it can be said that utopian thought is inherent to humans, today the word ‘utopia’ is generally used in a pejorative meaning of an illusion and/or political concept whose actualization necessarily leads to some form of totalitarianism. These assumptions originated from etymological, historical and conceptional dilemmas associated with utopian theoretical and practical realizations. Describing utopia in terms of critique, hope and imagination as well as linking it with the concept of Mannheim’s active utopia it is possible to find in it elements that can be used for dealing with modern gender and ecological problems. As an example are given feminist utopias in which were tested different gender theories and practices and were suggested solutions for creating not ideal or completed but improved worlds, that is, worlds that allow improvement.

What can we learn about feminism from web portals? – analysing media bulletins

IN ENGLISH: In contemporary society, the media are a powerful social force capable of actively supporting but also negating feminist values, regardless of the fact that today the feminist perspective is woven into the political and institutional lives of western countries (McRobbie, 2009). Feminism is considered to be instrumentalized and words such as “empowerment” and “choice” are often used in the media and popular culture “as a kind of substitute for feminism” (McRobbie, 2009: 1). This paper presents a media analysis of articles published by the five most visited Croatian web portals in 2019. The content of the articles was analysed by qualitative method that is by thematic analysis. The results show that feminism is a neglected topic on web portals and is most often found in “news”, “culture” or “film” sections. The results of the thematic analysis identified five thematic frameworks which encompass the published articles: feminist pioneers, female politicians and feminism, celebrity feminism, feminist activism, and feminism and film. The first framework “feminist pioneers”, along with the “feminist activism” framework, are more educational in the nature of their reporting, while the “celebrity feminism” framework deals more with the topics of violence towards women, women’s relationship with their bodies and gender equality in general. The presentation of female politicians within the framework dealing with politics and feminism is the most neglected because it is practically devoid of any political-feminist content while the “film and feminism” framework is almost entertaining in character because it is mostly based on commenting upon movie characters and their lifestyles as well as screenwriter choices. Although all the identified frameworks mention and broach a series of subthemes, except in the case of feminist activism, these subthemes are not problematized nor can the audience reach a wider comprehension. Young people, as regular consumers of news content on the most visited web portals, can’t acquire a realistic image of feminism, and rarely in few occasional news, can get a cursory education on feminist values. --------------- IN CROATIAN: Mediji su u suvremenom društvu moćna društvena sila koja može aktivno podržavati ali i osporavati feminističke vrijednosti bez obzira na činjenicu što je feministička perspektiva danas utkana u politički i institucionalni život zapadnih zemalja (McRobbie, 2009). Feminizam se smatra instrumentaliziranim, a riječi kao što su „osnaživanje“ i „izbor“ rabe se često u medijima i popularnoj kulturi „kao vrsta supstitucije za feminizam“ (McRobbie, 2009: 1). U ovom radu provedena je medijska analiza na objavljenim člancima prvih pet najposjećenijih web portala u Hrvatskoj u 2019. godini. Sadržaj članaka obrađen je kvalitativnom metodologijom, odnosno tematskom analizom. Rezultati pokazuju da je feminizam zanemarena tema na web portalima te da se najčešće može naći unutar rubrika „novosti“, „kulture“ ili „filma“. Rezultati tematske analize pokazali su postojanje pet tematskih okvira unutar kojih su objavljeni tekstovi: pionirke u feminizmu, političarke i feminizam, celebrity feminizam, feministički aktivizam te film i feminizam. Prvi tematski okvir “pionirke u feminizmu” i okvir “feminističkog aktivizma” imaju više naglašeni edukativni smjer izvještavanja dok “celebrity feminizam” više sadržajno naznačava temu odnosa prema ženskom tijelu i nasilju prema ženama te općenito rodnoj ravnopravnosti. Predstavljanje političarki unutar tematskog okvira je najzapostavljenijeg karaktera jer se u njemu praktički ne objavljuje nikakav značajniji političko-feministički sadržaj dok je okvir filma i feminizma skoro zabavnog karaktera jer se uglavnom zasniva na komentiranju filmskih likova i njihovog životnog stila te scenarističkih rješenja. Iako se unutar svih navedenih tematskih okvira spominje i otvara niz subtema njima se, osim u okviru teme feminističkog aktivizma, ne pristupa problematski niti je publici moguće doći do opsežnijih spoznaja. Mladi, kao konzumenti vijesti na najčitanijim web portalima ne mogu steći realnu predodžbu o feminizmu, i rijetko se, osim u prigodničarskim vijestima mogu tek površno educirati o feminističkim vrijednostima

Moda i film - o procesu komercijalizacije

Moda kroz film ili egzaktnije o procesu komercijalizacije mode unutar filmskog kadra tema je ovog rada kojim ću pokušati objasniti ne samo pojavnost mode kao takve i njen kronološki slijed već i pojmove koji su dio nje poput feminizma, fetišizma, konzumerizma, populizma, spektakla kao i ostale koji su ujedno dio ˝psihoanalize˝ filmskog medija koje analiziramo kroz likove i produkcijsku pozadinu uz pomoć filmskih ostvarenja starije i novije generacije. Ti će nam pojmovi olakšati shvaćanje njenog razvoja, funkcije ali i zaista veliku važnost njenog utjecaja na cjelokupno društvo i način razmišljanja i shvaćanja svijeta u kojem danas živimo. Kroz rad će se pratiti hollywoodsko filmsko stvaralaštvo koje je ujedno i koljevka njenog nastanka. Sve pojmove koje u radu razrađujem pokušala sam potkrijepiti primjerima iz filmova i TV serija za koje vjerujem da su većini poznati

LITERATURE, HISTORY, AND SPACE IN THE MIRROR OF THE LATE 20TH CENTURY

U radu se analizira i propituje složen odnos između pisanja književnosti i pisanja povijesti i to u kontekstu turbulentnoga dvadesetog stoljeća koje je obilježio postmoderni(stičk) i odmak. U novonastalom svijetu nebrojenih smislova razmiču se granice različitih diskursâ, a više niti jedan od njih ne može polagati pravo na (svoju) jed(i)nu i neupitnu istinu.In this text, the author discusses the complex relations between the writing of history and literature, the challenge of which becomes especially pressing within so-called post-structural theoretical accounts. What is at issue is that the twentieth century recorded a move toward the postmodern, which, no longer “imprisoned” by history, problematizes the relation between events from the past and historical facts as products. Yet this does not mean that we are left with a nihilistic stance rendering the writing of history impossible or that logical conclusions and archival research are rejected, rather it emphasizes the variegation of social space, which is no longer comprehended as containing one history, one theory or one narrative text. Thus history is viewed as a kind of literary account. Moreover, it is observed that literature is less misleading because it implies its own rhetorical status. Such a redefinition of epistemological perspectives opens the possibility of destabilizing monolithic historical perspectives, especially in the struggles for decolonization, which includes the wider processes of revising gendered language, self and cultural community, but also the problematization of gender, or the status of women in history. In this case, the author emphasizes that time can only be presented if it is ascribed some characteristics of space. Thus, instead of privileging time and history, an emphasis is placed on geographic and spatial imagination
