  • The Impact of Gendered Heroism on Adolescent
    DAVID OR MIA? THE IMPACT OF GENDERED HEROISM ON ADOLESCENT GIRLS AND THEIR SPORT ROLE MODELS Johanna A. Adriaanse, University of Technology, Sydney Janice J. Crosswhite, Australian Womensport and Recreation Association Final version submitted to Women’s Studies International Forum January 2008 Adolescent girls and sport role models 2 Abstract This paper explores the relationship between adolescent girls and their sport role models with a particular focus on gender. Social learning theory as well as gender theory are considered. Based on quantitative and qualitative data collected in Australia through two focus group interviews and questionnaires (n=357) the researchers found that gender influences the choice of sport role models of adolescent girls. When asked to nominate their role model, girls overwhelmingly choose a female role model, however, when their role model came from the sporting domain the percentage of female role models decreased. Further, qualitative comments support the notion that gender and gendered heroism play a critical role in the adoption of sport role models by adolescent girls. The authors argue that sport role models, in traditional gender terms, are ideologically contradictory. A trend towards acceptance of a multiple femininities and masculinities perspective may be a prospect for change. Adolescent girls and sport role models 3 David or Mia? The influence of gender on adolescent girls’ choice of sport role models Jess is an 18 year old girl from Indian descent living in the United Kingdom with a passion for soccer. On her bedroom wall hangs a poster of her hero, David Beckham. She often talks to him about her aspirations as a soccer player; he inspires her to pursue her dream.

  • Romero Barker Ella 5
    From Book to Film: Ella Enchanted by Macario Ben Romero and Patricia Barker Fairy tales occupy a unique position in the literary canon. Although based on literary traditions, they have become an increasingly visual form in American culture due in large part to the works and films of Walt Disney which simplified and familiarized story lines in favor of technical artistry to “wow” the audience and which also sacrificed artistry for invention, tradition for innovation, and imagination for distraction (Zipes, “Towards” 7-8). For the most part, fairy tales of any culture are indicative of the morals and traditions of that culture: “fairy tales provide a unique window into our most central concerns, our sense of social and cultural identity, who we think we are (or should be) – and how we change” (Orenstein 8). Zipes clearly reaffirms this argument when discussing the French origins of the literary fairy tale: “the genre of the literary fairy tale was institutionalized as an aesthetic and social means through which questions and issues of civilite , proper behavior and demeanor in all types of situations, were mapped out as narrative strategies for literary socialization (Zipes, “Breaking” 23). For women, this socialization process can be insidious because as Vera Sonja Maass writes, “in their symbolic forms, fairy tales reinforce self-defeating social and psychological behavior patterns in women’s daily lives” (vii). Later, she writes that the older oral fairy tales descended from matriarchal societies which celebrated womanhood “had been transformed into a verbal version bearing a literate code that prescribed the domestic requirements in bourgeois Christian society necessary for a young woman to be acceptable for marriage: self-sacrifice, diligence, hard work, silence, humility, and patience” (5).
