"The world's worst cleaning lady" : the portrayal of gender in commercials targeted at American NHL audiences

2014

Mainontaan suhtaudutaan usein melko välinpitämättömästi, eikä sen vaikutusta yhteiskuntaan ja maailmankuvaamme välttämättä huomata. Mainonnan rooli vallitsevien arvojen ja ihanteiden rakentajana ja ylläpitäjänä on kuitenkin merkittävä, sillä mainonnan avulla on mahdollista tavoittaa suuri määrä ihmisiä hyvin pienessä ajassa. Kohdemainonnan avulla mainonnan viestit kohdistetaan tietylle kuluttajaryhmälle, mikä mahdollistaa mainonnan tehokkaan räätälöinnin vastaamaan kohderyhmän arvoja ja maailmankuvaa. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, millaista nais- ja mieskuvaa amerikkalaisille jääkiekon katsojille suunnattu kohdemainonta välittää. Aineisto koostui 107 mainoksesta, jotka esii…

2022

Il presente articolo, approfondendo dei dati etnografici sul sex work maschile di strada raccolti dall'autore tra il 2011 e il 2018, intende evidenziare i significati attribuiti allo scambio sessuo-economico e delineare le relazioni gerarchiche che si definiscono per via della costruzione egemonica di genere e sessuale ma anche, inevitabilmente, per la corresponsione di una paga a seguito di una prestazione con l'obiettivo di identificare le modalità attraverso le quali si costruiscono modelli di maschilità situazionali e negoziate. L'analisi prova che la reputazione maschile deve essere costantemente preservata e dal momento che determina una sorta di rendita da posizionamento, essa è cost…

Eight Singaporean elite archers (four females, four males), aged 20–24 years, reflected on their training using the diary for a period of five weeks. Their pre- and post-intervention performance scores were collected and qual…
