{"product_id":"the-construction-of-masculinity-and-tessa-nowosenetz-9783639107067","title":"The Construction of Masculinity and Femininity in Alcohol Advertising","description":"This study focuses on how masculinity and femininity are constructed in alcohol advertisements in the print form, specifically in For Him Magazine (FHM) and Gentlemen's Quarterly (GQ). Alcohol advertisements address the reader in a way that sells the lifestyle that is associated with the product. Within the lifestyle depicted in the advertisement, there may also be an identity and a specific gender identity that the reader may be encouraged to incorporate in order to achieve the lifestyle associated with the advertised product. Advertising in general has often been implicated in constructing masculinity, and in particular, femininity in narrow or restricted ways. The mass media and advertising extend upon existing societal 'norms' and discourses regarding the construction of masculinity and femininity by sending these discourses or constructions back into society in the form of advertising. A discourse analysis was employed to investigate to what extent advertising has used gender based societal discourses as well as what dominant structures or portrayals of gender appear in South African alcohol advertising.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tessa Nowosenetz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3639107063\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639107067\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.17d","brand":"Tessa Nowosenetz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48446279090431,"sku":"9783639107067","price":52.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f9eb0616-a560-4206-bf69-b5a323f4d009.jpg?v=1777223686","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-construction-of-masculinity-and-tessa-nowosenetz-9783639107067","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
