  • Fra Jenter Til Kvinner
    Fakultet for humaniora, samfunnsvitenskap og lærerutdanning Fra jenter til kvinner En kvalitativ analyse av norske mediers dekning av kvinnefotballen i det 21. århundret. Malin Bredahl Woll Masteroppgave i SOS-3981 sosiologi ved lektorutdanninga 8-13, mai 2021 i Sammendrag Denne oppgaven handler om kvinnefotball og deres representasjon i media i det 21. århundret. Formålet med oppgaven er å undersøke omtalen av kvinnefotballen i media, og å se på hvor mye de skrives om. Det har også vært et mål å se på fotballspiller som yrke for kvinner og om de møter på barrierer som hindrer de videre i arbeidslivet. Ved å bruke to aviser, VG og Adresseavisen, er det telt antall artikler om kvinnefotball og herrefotball fra 2000-2019 for å sammenligne. Ved bruk av kvalitativ dokumentanalyse og innholdsanalyse er artiklene plassert inn i tre forskjellige kategorier. De teoretiske analyseverktøyene som har vært brukt i oppgaven er Pierre Bourdieus teori om det sosiale rom og felt, og hans begreper om kapital-formene og habitus. Videre er feministisk teori om femininitet og maskulinitet benyttet, og teorien om glasstaket i arbeidslivet. Analysen har bestått av tre kategorier som ble til som følge av min datainnsamling og innholdsanalysen av disse. «Jentene», «diskriminering» og «heltinnene» er de tre utvalgte kategoriene i analysen. Kategoriene er også delt inn etter en tidslinje, der første kategori tar for seg de tidligste årene av utvalget, og så følger de to andre linjen videre. Hovedfunnet som er gjort er at det finnes en ending i omtalen og omtalefrekvensen av kvinnefotballen i media som har skjedd i det 21. århundret.
