  • Dear Future Husband’: Young People’S Critical Exploration of Gender and Sexuality in Pop Music Videos
    Networking Knowledge 10(3)Sex and Sexualities in Popular Culture (Oct. 2017) ‘Dear Future Husband’: young people’s critical exploration of gender and sexuality in pop music videos ELLY SCRINE, University of Melbourne ABSTRACT This study aimed to explore how young people can critically engage with music videos to explore dominant constructions of gender and sexuality. As the primary consumers of popular music and music videos, adolescents are also a group who exist in a unique sociocultural space, where both misogyny and feminism are present in their highly media-driven lives. This study used focus group workshops with young people in high school to generate qualitative data based on the participants’ discussion and interpretations of gender and sexuality in two music videos. Seven groups of young people aged 14 – 16 analysed two popular music videos and reflected particularly upon discourses of expected femininity and female sexuality. Discussion elucidated insightful analysis around gendered subjectivity, and presented three complex and opposing themes, which are explored in detail. A cohesive thread emerged in the data in which young people demonstrated their capacity to identify hegemonic gender constructs, while also relying on these constructs to read and police the women shown in the music videos. KEYWORDS Gender, sexuality, popular music, music videos, adolescents Gender in young people’s current lives Young people establish their identity and independence through the broader political, cultural and socio-structural contexts in which they operate. High schools exist not only as a physical place in which adolescents spend a significant amount of their time, but also a socio-political sphere where the performance, negotiation and reproduction of gender norms are enacted through overt and covert structures (Blakemore, Berenbaum, & Liben 2013, 365).

County Auditor Mike Jensen said the total budget increase is primarily attributable to rising personnel costs.“This year’s budget of more than $60 million included three enterprise funds, which are for landfills, the Deseret Peak Complex and the Tooele County Airport,” said Jensen. “The main reason for the overall budget increase was per- sonnel costs for salaries, wages and new employees. We had an additional seven new employment spots granted for 2008. There will be five new employees, or full-time equivalents, for the general fund, and two new ones for the municipal services fund, which carries services such as the engineering department, sheriff’s department and animal control. We try to keep new hires to a minimum because they are a big part of the budget, but as the county grows, the personnel will have to grow as well.” County Commissioner Colleen Johnson said a cost-of- living increase for employees was the primary cause of the photography / Troy Boman total budget increase, and that there were no funds with drastic decreases for 2008. Workers inspect the steeple after replacing shingles on the roof of the Tooele North Stake Center Monday.

I can go on and on about how much I love this story, but let me just say God bless you, Tomi Adesina, for a beautiful story. May God continue to bless you. - Lola C'est une excellente pièce de travail, je l'aime (This is an excellent piece of work, I love it). More grease to your elbows. – AAA Ghen Ghen. *singing* Omo, see Gobe, Bolu ti bo sinu Gobe. I'm so loving this ehn. Thanks, Morade, for the bonus even though the suspense is killing.
