Learning Targets: I can think critically about representations of
gender in advertisements
I can discuss and analyze
an article with my classmates
HOMEWORK FOR NEXT Monday, April 29: Read and annotate and write a response paper on “I Won. I’m Sorry,” by Mariah Burton
Nelson. Submit into Google Classroom BEFORE THE START OF CLASS. Use the
“Reading the Text” questions at the end of this article to help you to frame
your response paper. Also, this article originally appeared in 1998. Is
Nelson’s argument still relevant /accurate 20 years later? Use the Google to
search for confirmation and/or counterarguments. 5
Last time, we talked about whether or not The Codes of Gender was critical of femininity and of female
athletes who are portrayed in sexual ways, and in ways that male athletes are
not. Is the documentary critical of “femininity” and sexuality or is it
critical of the ways in which advertisements / media represent
femininity in very sexually narrow and stereotypical ways? Is it critical of
women wanting to be sexual or is it critical of the narrow ways in which
feminine sexuality is represented and reinforced through advertisements? The
problem is that “sexy” or “hot” is expressed through poses that are frivolous,
childlike, submissive, and dependent. The question should be posed: is feminine
sexuality naturally submissive and vulnerable or is this a cultural / social
construction? And what are the consequences for women and men to have this
representation of female sexuality / femininity so prominently featured in
media? Why should female athletes feel compelled to present themselves as
posing in ways that are coded as sexually available and submissive? 5 (10)
