gender ads

http://www.genderads.com/

Gender Ads.com was begun a number of years ago to provide gender studies educators and students with a resource for analyzing the advertising images that relate to gender.

Its founder, Dr. Scott A. Lukas, had produced a PowerPoint that focused on gender and advertising, and because students had requested copies of the presentation, he decided to produce a website to host the images and interpretations.

Since the PowerPoint was produced with 100 images, the website has grown to over 2,500 advertising images, and it is one of the largest collections of gender-related advertising materials on the Internet.

++++++++++++++++++++++

body
Background: A popular theme in both advertising and mainstream movies is of the male as a decision-maker and the female as a passive, uninvolved body (cf. Culley and Bennett 1976).

Even in mainstream magazines, advertising rarely depicts women in other roles (Sexton and Haberman 1974).

Advertising is capricious, and in some cases particular depictions of men and women have shifted over the years. An example of this trend occurred in 1970s ads where the stereotypical objectified images of women were supplanted in part by images of women in business and executive settings.

However, as two authors argue, such representations have ultimately faded away to the more traditional depictions of women as sex objects (Benokraitis and Feagin 1995:28).
+++++++++++++++++++++



Background: “In spite of the inferior role which men assign to them, women are the privileged objects of their aggression,” this the telling quote offered by Simone de Beauvoir (in Kaufman 1995:17) that establishes one of the essential problems in patriarchal societies—men commit violence against women.

The connection between masculinity and violence has been considered in a number of significant studies of popular culture (Gibson 1994; Ewing 1995; Kaufman 1995).

Kaufman suggests that the substitution of violence for desire is a predominant aspect of the construction of masculinity (1995:13), Benokraitis and Feagin suggest that advertising often connects sexuality with aggression or violence against women (1995:61), while Wolf (1991:133) discusses “beauty sadomasochism”—the prevalence of violence and sex in many ads.

Shameless is Canada’s independent voice for smart, strong, sassy young women.

It’s a fresh alternative to typical teen magazines, for girls who know there’s more to life than makeup and diet tips.

Packed with articles about arts, culture and current events, Shameless reaches out to readers who are often ignored by mainstream media: freethinkers, queer youth, young women of colour, punk rockers, feminists, intellectuals, artists, activists — people just like you!

We tackle teen life with wit and wisdom.

The Chicago Women's Graphics Collective

The Chicago Women's Graphics Collective was organized in 1970 to create posters for the growing women's liberation movement.



The Women's Graphics Collective used silkscreen to create large brilliantly colored prints in large quantities on a low budget. Later the group used offset printing for the more popular posters.



The founders of the Graphics Collective wanted their new feminist art to be a collective process in order to set it apart from the male-dominated Western art culture.



Each poster was created by a committee of 2 to 4 women led by the artist/designer.



Thousands of posters were sold all over the world until the Graphics Collective dissolved in 1983.

Robodock Festival - Amsterdam

ROBODOCK FESTIVAL 2006 - ALCHEMY

The 9th edition of the Robodock Festival will be at the NDSM-wharf in Amsterdam-Noord.

It will take place from 20 till 23th of september 2006.

The theme of this festival edition is alchemy. This will be the leading thread within the program and a source of inspiration for the participating artists.

Robodock is a unique international festival with a main core of technology, spectacle theatre, multi-media and industrial installations.

In cooperation with artists, technology students and theatre makers the festival is styled by re-using scrap and other industrial left-overs. Nowadays Robodock has an important international workshop-function.

The festival shows unpredictable combinations of different disciplines and bizar theatral applications, of which fire and steel are important elements. No disciplines are excluded: theatre, plastic arts, music, dance, film, multimedia, acrobatics, technical experiments, deejays.

With a surprising and renewing program Robodock shows four days 'state of the art' - projects that have no like in Europe and that are specially developed for and by the Robodock Festival. On every day of the festival there will be a different program.

Theme of 2006: Alchemy

Alchemy is the old secret science that, by using the 'philosopher's stone', aimed at brewing a life-elixer out of precious metals. In 2006 Robodock will research the question wheter this science is still actual in our modern times. Do modern technologies contain a life-elixer?

Alchemy not only is a inspiring theme. It is also a theme that touches the search in our present society to spirituality, mysticism, symbolism and religion. Functioning as a experimental platform Robodock will become a alchemist laboratory. These are the corners of our focus this year.

call - street women

As I research the street art scene, I am becoming increasing concerned about the lack of feminine presence and the scarcity of positive female role models.

Where are the women?

=====================

In some ways I was pleased to see the announcement from Wooster that there is a new book about to be released.

"We're pleased to learn that Nicholas Ganz's new book, Graffiti Women, is set to come out in November. Haven't seen it yet, but if it's half as good as his last book, Graffiti World, we're in for a treat. It's good to see that someone has finally put together what looks to be like the definitive book on an amazing group of woman who are central to the graffiti and street are movement. Can't wait to see it."

0n the other hand, this raises the question of why it is necessary to have a seperate publication for women in the first place?

If these women artists are of equal ability/quality/whatever to their male counterparts; then their work will be equally displayed alongside the blokes, wont it?

0r will it?

Is it true that the mainstream publications about street art are filled with male art so that the women have to publish a separate book?

[can someone email me the breakdown from the book graffiti world? number of artists by gender - and any other graffiti books - lets do a survey]

What are the women doing about this? If street art is about rebellion and politics, where are the graffiti feminists?
