New Girl Ur Ett Genusperspektiv ”Punch it like a man!” En semiotisk textanalys av tv-serien New Girl ur ett genusperspektiv FÖRFATTARE: Malin Claesson Sandra Pilut KURS: Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap C, Uppsats Examensarbete/kandidatuppsats 15 hp PROGRAM: Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskapliga programmet EXAMINATOR: Karin Wennström HANDLEDARE: Anne-Sophie Naumann TERMIN: Höstterminen 2017 JÖNKÖPING UNIVERSITY Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap C Högskolan för lärande och kommunikation Examensarbete/kandidatuppsats 15 hp Höstterminen 2017 SAMMANFATTNING Författare: Malin Claesson och Sandra Pilut Uppsatsens titel: ”Punch it like a man!” Underrubrik: En semiotisk textanalys av tv-serien New Girl ur ett genusperspektiv Språk: Svenska Antal sidor: 75 Studien undersöker hur den etablerade sitcom-serien New Girl porträtterar kvinnliga och manliga karaktärer normativt eller icke-normativt. Studien undersöker även om karaktärerna i serien porträtteras utefter de grundstereotyper som tidigare forskning tagit fram. Urvalet utgörs av de första sju avsnitten av första säsongen, som alla hade runt en miljon tittare i Sverige. Syftet och målet med vår studie är att undersöka om sitcom-serien New Girls karaktärer bidrar till rådande könsnormer eller om serien är normbrytande. På så sätt bidrar studie till den relativt outforskade genusforskningen eftersom vi får kunskap om hur kön representeras i media. Som metod tillämpar vi en kvalitativ textanalys och studien har sin teoretiska grund inom semiotiken. Vi använder oss av de semiotiska begreppen denotation och konnotation som verktyg när karaktärerna analyseras. Analysen utgjordes av ett schema för att enklare identifiera karaktärernas stereotyp. Analysschemat bestod av klädval/utseende, uttal/tilltal, yrke och egenskaper/känslor. Resultatet av studien visar att New Girl både stärker rådande könsnormer och bryter dem. Stereotyperna som kom till uttryck i serien var ”machoman”, ”yuppie”, ”career woman” och ”bourgeois”. Sökord: semiotik, kvalitativ textanalys, stereotyp, norm, genus, new girl JÖNKÖPING UNIVERSITY Media and Communication Studies C School of Education and Communication Bachelor thesis 15 credits Autumn 2017 ABSTRACT Author(s): Malin Claeson och Sandra Pilut Title: “Punch it like a man!” Subtitle: A semiotic content analysis of the tv-series New Girl trough a gender perspective Language: Swedish Pages: 75 This study examines how the established sitcom series New Girl portrays women and men normatively or not. The study also examines whether the characters in the series are portrayed as stereotypes that previous research has found. The study consists of the first seven episodes of the first season, all of which had around one million viewers in Sweden. The purpose and aim of this study is to investigate whether the sitcom-series New Girls characters contributes to current gender norms or if the series is norm breaking. In this way, our study contributes to the relatively unexplored gender research as we get knowledge of hoe gender is represtended in the media. As a method, we apply a qualitative text analysis and the study has its theoretical foundation in semiotics. We use the semiotic concepts denotation and connotation as tools when analyzing the characters. The analysis consisted of a scheme to more easily identify the stereotype of the characters. The analysis scheme consisted of clothing/appearance, pronunciation/appeal, occupation and characteristics/feelings. The result of the study shows that New Girl both strengthens the current gender norms and breaks them. The stereotypes that was expressed in the series were “machoman”, “yuppie”, “career woman” and “bourgeois”.

Il ANTONIO GALLUZZO piatto forte della festa sarà una performance danzante dello sposo e del testimone insieme alla compagnia di danza "Marasma Ghandi" che si preannuncia quantomeno imperdibile.

  • Reviewing Romcom: (100) Imdb Users and (500) Days of Summer
    . Volume 8, Issue 2 November 2011 Reviewing Romcom: (100) IMDb Users and (500) Days of Summer Inger-Lise Kalviknes Bore Birmingham City University, UK Abstract This article contributes to academic debates around the romantic comedy genre and comedy audiences by examining IMDb user reviews of (500) Days of Summer (2009). Directed by Marc Webb for Fox Searchlight Pictures, (500) Days of Summer was promoted with the tagline ‘Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love. Girl doesn’t’. This presents the film as an unconventional romantic comedy in at least three ways: Firstly, it suggests that these two characters will not actually end up together, which challenges the idea of the romcom couple as ‘meant to be’. Secondly, it presents the possibility that audiences might not get the happy ending we usually expect from comedy. And finally, the tagline casts the boy, rather than the girl, in the role as yearning romantic, thereby challenging the traditional gender roles of heterosexual relationships. So how did audiences respond to this film? At the time of writing, it has been rated by 75,716 IMDb users, and has an average score of 8.0 out of 10. This clearly suggests a favourable reception, but the IMDb reviews also offer qualitative data that can shed further light on how the film has been evaluated. What kinds of criteria are in operation? What elements do reviewers highlight as important for their experiences of the film? How is the film seen to fail for some viewers? Drawing on previous studies of romantic comedy, the analysis will consider how these particular audience members articulated their responses to (500) Days of Summer, as well as their positions as reviewers.

  • 'New Girl' Cast Teases Season Finale [SPOILER] by Lani Conway on April 23, 2013
    http://www.zimbio.com/New+Girl/articles/diOlmEMkD4C/New+Girl+Cast+Teases+Season+Finale+SPOIL ER 'New Girl' Cast Teases Season Finale [SPOILER] By Lani Conway on April 23, 2013 Hannah Simone, Jake Johnson, and Lamorne Morris attended the Grades of Green annual event for Earth Day to chat a bit about the importance of the environment, and tease the prank-filled season finale of New Girl. "Winston and Schmidt and a whole host of others get very involved in Cece's wedding," Simone said to Entertainment Tonight. Cece recently became engaged to Shivrang, which has caused quite a stir for those who are still rooting for Schmidt. "Schmidt and I band together to," Morris said, jokingly clearing his throat. "I'll put it like this. I like to prank, Schmidt kind of helps me out. He goes along with one of my pranks... It's the most ridiculous thing you've ever seen in your entire life." We just hope the prank his better than his super weird "let's hit someone with a ski" joke idea. Johnson also had some things to say about country-pop star Taylor Swift's guest spot on the season finale. "Nick's a little bit more involved with Jess in the finale. He's kind of tied in with her [Winston and Schmidt] are tied up together," Johnson said. "There's a badger, and then Taylor Swift is there." Huh? Badger? We'll just wait for the season finale instead of trying to figure out that one. .

  • Black Masculinity and White-Cast Sitcoms Unraveling Stereotypes in New Girl
    Black masculinity and White-cast Sitcoms Unraveling stereotypes in New Girl Marie Zafimehy Supervisor: Alma Persson, Gender Studies, LiU Master’s Programme Gender Studies – Intersectionality and Change Master’s thesis 15 ECTS credits ISRN: LIU-TEMA G/GSIC1-A—19/015-SE Marie Zafimehy 2 Master thesis - Gender, Intersectionality and Change ABSTRACT For decades, situational comedies — commonly named “sitcoms” — have been racially segregated on TV between Black-cast sitcoms and White-cast sitcoms. Extensive research has been led about representation of Black and White masculinities in this segregated context. This master thesis studies what happens when White and Black males are equally casted as main characters in contemporary sitcoms by offering a case-study of the 2011 sitcom New Girl (2011-2017). How is Black masculinity represented in New Girl, and in which ways does it intersect with contemporary societal issues (e.g. racial profiling, Black Lives Matter movement)? This case-study uses tools, methodologies and concepts, drawn from Black and Intersectional feminism as well as Feminist media studies. Based on a 25 episodes sample of the show, it implements Ronald Jackson’s traditional stereotypes classification and “Black masculine identity theory” (Jackson, 2006) to study representations of Black masculinity in New Girl, through its two main Black male characters, Winston and Coach. Given that representations of minorities in popular culture reflect and influence our contemporary society, the results offer new insights about how sitcoms, series and pop- culture productions in general can challenge traditional stereotypes and display a more progressive Black masculinity. Key words: Black feminism, Feminist media studies, Men and masculinities, Representation, New Girl, Sitcoms Marie Zafimehy 3 Master thesis - Gender, Intersectionality and Change ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thank you to Johanna Hägg and Sebastian Ingels who successively shared their Netflix access codes with me.
