| Title | Construction of gender and sexuality in youth magazines: The Macedonian context |
| Summary | This MA thesis deals with a critical analysis of youth magazines in the contemporary Macedonian cultural context. I analyze two monthly youth magazines, namely TAA се само об& #x438;ч&# x43d;а не (SHE – anything but ordinary) aimed at teenage girls and TOJ ма& #x448;к&# x438; свет (HE – in the men’s world) aimed at teenage boys. The main concern of this thesis is to explore how the representations of gender and sexuality within the pages of TAA and TOJ reflect and reinforce the values of the society in which they exist. I argue that these magazines construct gender stereotypes by promoting traditional models of masculine and feminine behavior. Furthermore, I argue that they set heterosexuality as a compulsory form of sexual behavior and introduce the readers into the world of consumerism. |
