Gender and Re-presentation


In this lesson we were shown a digital image of a photograph of Kate Moss topless posing for the camera. Then the boys were asked what they thought of the photo for femininity and to write it on a piece of paper and the girls to do the same on another piece of paper. We were then asked what we thought the boys would say about the photo and the boys were asked the same about the girls. Both groups were surprised of what the other group said. This is because of stereotypes the media have Re-presented to us. For example pink is usually a feminine colour whereas blue is supposed to be a masculine colour, this is what we have learnt through our cultural background so where we are from which contributes to what media we see.

Next we were given this activity to decide what advertising was best to advertise to the different genders.


Lastly, I then learnt that the opposite to stereotypical  is atypical.
