''Caught in a Bad Romance'' Örebro Universitet Institutionen för humaniora, utbildning och samhällsvetenskap ’’Caught in a Bad Romance’’: En kvalitativ fallstudie om genuskonstruktioner i en musikvideo Kandidatuppsats, 2020-06-05 Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap Handledare: Vladimir Cotal San Martin Författare: Linda Nordeman Abstract The purpose of this study is to see how gender is produced in one music video, chosen by a stratified, purposive sampling. This is done partly by studying the visual and linguistic dimensions of the text, partly by defining its discourse. The analysis is conducted by using MCDA (Multimodal critical discourse analysis). To study the material, the video was segmented into smaller sections based on the parts of the song (chours, verse etcetera). The semiotic resources that is considered in this analysis is participants, gaze and poses. The result of this study shows that, in this particular music video, gender is portrayed in similar ways through the resources. The gender of the dominant and strong woman is mostly portrayed through hands placed in the waist, legs placed wide and a neutral face combined with eye contact or hidden eyes/gaze. The innocent, emotional woman is portrayed through a including gaze towards the viewer. The gender man on the other hand is portrayed as dominant and strong through a intense, observing gaze and a relaxed body in combination with a broad-legged position. It also became clear that women were more sexualized that men in the video, even though they both established dominance through the same use of the resources in the bigger part of the video. The discourse for the material was connotated to be mostly a sexual discourse with a hint of and emotional- and/or love discourse. Key words: Discourse, Gender, Lady Gaga, Men, Multimodal critical discourse analysis, Music video, Music, Semiotics, Text analysis, Women Innehållsförteckning 1.

Sammanfattning ........................................................................................................................................ 41 1. Inledning De moderna medierna, det vill säga exempelvis TV, litteratur och Internet, är någonting som genomsyrar våra dagliga liv i allt större utsträckning. Vårat sätt att se världen, oss själva och vår omgivning på präglas till stor del av dessa mediers kunskapsspridande funktion. 1 Medier kan sprida olika budskap i olika form. Det kan exempelvis handla om reklamposters i tunnelbanan, politiska debatter i TV eller genom en musikvideo på YouTube. Musik, film och andra kulturella fenomen får alla plats under begreppet populärkultur. Begreppet populärkultur är väldigt brett, men kan i korta drag definieras som kulturella artefakter som befolkningen har generell kännedom om, är massproducerade och är den del av en marknad; men som också är omtyckta och lättillgängliga. 2 Inom musiken kan en sådan artefakt vara exempelvis en sång i sig eller en musikvideo som då blir allmänt känd hos publiken, exempelvis genom radio, YouTube eller streamingtjänster. Vad medier producerar både visuellt och textuellt kan vara formande för individen

Thank you.” — Reader/Customer Email, 2010 * * * “Ever since I came across Jess C Scott’s teenage blog novel, EyeLeash, I’ve known that some very talented writers will emerge from the epublishing revolution.” — Joseph Grinton, October 2011 * * * “Just read Real Love Versus Romance...loved the ideas & compilation of ideas...great!! :) i agreed with many of the points of how romance has been commercialized for effect instead of portraying the actual depth of true romance...i roll my eyes at what is considered “love stories” nowadays...even being a guy (haha), i can appreciate a story that portrays real love & shows depth in what romance is (means)....a lot has been lost to appease a tween generation or to generally confuse people of all ages on the expectations of romance...” — P.H. / Chesapeake, OH, April 2012 * * * BAD ROMANCE: WALKTHROUGH By JESS C SCOTT Published by jessINK | Smashwords Edition Copyright © 2012 by Jess C Scott.

Lady Gaga burst onto the scene in 2009 with her chart-topping debut CD The Fame , and has kept her fans and the media riveted ever since with her theatrical live performances, outlandish fashion sense, and edgy videos. This follow-up features easy arrangements of the hits Alejandro, Bad Romance and Telephone, plus: Dance in the Dark * Monster * So Happy I Could Die * Speechless * Teeth. I waited months for the sheet music book of Lady Gagas second album, The Fame Monster. It was backordered, and then it appeared to go out of print as it became completely unavailable on Amazon. Amazon even asked if I wanted to cancel the order after I had been waiting nearly the whole summer, noting that they were still trying to get it but were having a bit of a hard time. Give up on GaGa? Never!The wait was absolutely worth it. The Fame Monster as a CD is transcendental; Lady GaGa mixes different music genres -- house, dance, 70s classic rock, Latin, and more -- creating fresh genres of music, with a catchy, driving beat.

  • Lady Gaga Biography
    Lady Gaga biography A.J. Smuskiewicz, for ABC-CLIO Lady Gaga is a singer, songwriter, performance artist, and actress. Since rising to pop music stardom in the early 2000s with her catchy dance songs—as well as her highly original persona and avant-garde, often outrageous outfits—she has expanded the scope of her career and explored various public images. She has also frequently used her fame to advocate for a number of social causes, including issues related to bullying, sexual as- sault, and LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) rights. Early Life Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta was born on March 28, 1986, in New York City. Her father, Joseph, was an Internet entrepreneur, owning a company that installed Wi-Fi in hotels. Her mother, Cynthia, also worked in the telecommunications industry. She grew up in the generally affluent Upper West Side of Manhattan. Stefani began playing piano when 4 years old and studied classical music while attended a private all-girls Catholic elementary and high school called the Convent of the Sacred Heart. An aspect of Germanotta’s early life that she has frequently spoken about is always feel- ing “different,” “insecure,” “eccentric,” and “like a freak,” and, consequently, finding herself being bullied and ridiculed by peers. Peer rejection, she said, was a major reason that she sought refuge in art. At age 17, Germanotta started attending New York University’s Tisch School for the Arts, where she continued her music studies. However, she quit during her second year to pursue cabaret and rock singing, songwriting, performance art, and other artistic endeav- ors.
