    Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities 155 EXPLORING GENDER STEREOTYPES IN MEDIA ADVERTS: A MULTIMODAL ANALYSIS Tazanfal Tehseem* Masroor Sibtain** Zara Obaid*** Abstract This paper aims at identifying socio-cultural portrayal of women through representational, interactive and compositional meanings with a focus on gender stereotypes propagated by media advertisements in Pakistan. Media adverts as such are an instrumental tool for manipulating attitudes and behavior of large and diverse audience for example, a large body of data reveals that women are portrayed in media to stylize their physical attributes to tempt and persuade customers. Therefore, advertisements are instrumental in creating a certain mind-set by shaping an ideology through highlighting the hegemonic representation of men and sexual objectification of women for creating an erotic fantasy. The data for the study comprises print media adverts which were randomly collected to have primarily advertised Pakistan TV morning shows, home products and cosmetics and have been selected on an assumption that they embody a socio-cultural perspective. The findings show that the selected adverts project the world of male chauvinism where women are shown as the facilitating sexual objects. Keywords: Media adverts, multimodal discourse analysis, hegemonic ideology, and sexual objectification Introduction This research explores Pakistani advertisements being used as a medium for defining gender roles in society. It particularly analyzes the aspect of sexual objectification of women in adverts where women are used as a commodity to increase the appeal of a product, or as subservient to men. The study is significant in identifying what major semiotic resource systems Pakistani advertisers deploy for disseminating a particular ideology and enhancing stereotypical representation of women in Pakistan.

  • Imran Aslam Is a Senior Journalist from Pakistan and in Currently The
    Imran Aslam is a senior journalist from Pakistan and in currently the president of GEO TV Network, where he oversees content for GEO News, GEO Entertainment, Aag (a youth channel) and GEO Super (Sports). Aslam was born in Madras and had his early schooling in Chittagong and Dacca in then East Pakistan. He graduated from Government College, Lahore. He subsequently studied at the London School of Economics (LSE) and School of Oriental & African Studies where he read Economics, Politics, and International Relations. He left Pakistan after a brief incarceration during which he suffered a period in solitary confinement and was subjected to torture in Baluchistan. At that time he was working on a dissertation on the political evolution of Baluchistan. Aslam moved to the United Arab Emirates and worked as the Director of the Royal Flight of Shaikh Zayed Bin Sultan‐Al‐ Nahyan, where he was tasked to single handedly set up a fleet of luxury aircraft for the personal use of the President of the UAE. This is what he describes as the “Arabian Nightmare” of his life. The job enabled him to travel extensively and meet with some exciting political passengers. He woke up one morning from this unreal job and moved back to Pakistan to pursue a career in Journalism. In 1983 Aslam became the Editor of the Star, an evening newspaper that was to blaze a trail in investigative journalism during the days of General Zia‐ul‐Haq. Working with a wonderful team described as “typewriter guerillas” the Star was the samizdat of Pakistan journalism in those oppressive days.

Glasgow Theses Service http://theses.gla.ac.uk/ [email protected] Enforcement and Regulation in Relation to TV Broadcasting in Pakistan Muhammad Abrar Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Law College of Social Sciences University of Glasgow November 2012 Abstract Abstract In 2002, private broadcasters started their own TV transmissions after the creation of the Pakistan Electronic Media Authority. This thesis seeks to identify the challenges to the Pakistan public and private electronic media sectors in terms of enforcement. Despite its importance and growth, there is a lack of research on the enforcement and regulatory supervision of the electronic media sector in Pakistan. This study examines the sector and identifies the action required to improve the current situation. To this end, it focuses on five aspects: (i) Institutional arrangements: institutions play a key role in regulating the system properly. (ii) Legislative and regulatory arrangements: legislation enables the electronic media system to run smoothly.
