MIGRAIN: Introduction to feminism

Everyday Sexism

1.) Laura Bates started the Everyday Sexism project in order to expose and document the widespread effects and acts of sexism like street harassment and work micro aggressions.

2.) The everyday sexism project acts as a direct counter narrative towards the concept of post feminism by presenting that gender equalities is not just a "Western ideal".

3.) New technology is important to the everyday sexism project since it originally started on social media and online.

4.) I think that even in the future organisations like everyday sexism will still be needed since the requirement for equality within gender has been needed for generations and will most likely be continuously needed for the next few generations.


Media Magazine: The fourth wave?

1.) Networked feminism is activism that is mainly portrayed on online platforms like social medias and through creative movements. It could be deemed as negative due to its performative nature and lack of impact unlike traditional organisation.

2.) The four waves of feminism are first (1850s-1920s), second (1960s- 1980s), third (1990s-2010s) and the fourth wave (2012 - present).

3.) The everyday sexism platform is a feminist ideology movement which takes place online in order to help and protect those belittled of the widespread harm of sexism around the world. The everyday sexism movement is a project that acts as a direct counter narrative towards the concept of post feminism by representing that sex is actually not just a "western ideology".

4.) In my opinion, contemporary feminism isn't as impactful as "traditional" feminism due to its lack of development it provides for the causes of feminism. Contemporaty feminism can be seen as perofrmative since it has a good ideology however does not actually cause any helpful impact.

My media consumption

-
 Newspapers: 1.) I'll usually read whatever newspaper has been left on a bus or train seat.  2.) I usually flip to the part with the word cross of the part of the newspaper that's being advertised on the front page.  3.) I never read the spots section, I've never found an interest in it.  4.) I tend to read the stories about something new that's been discovered or the part of the paper where all the shocking things are written like car crashes and stuff of that kind.  5.) No 6.) I sometimes click on random articles that have come up on my recommended page, its not usually the same company though. I just click on whatever seems interesting when I've got nothing to do.  Magazines: 1.) I like to read the advertisement section or the part where you learn to do new things since I find it interesting.  2.) I never read the "Celebrity gossip" part since I can never remember any of their names.  Television: 1.) Very little, if I do it's for a movie so abo...

MIGRAIN: Narrative

-
 1.) Moana is a good example since it uses Todorov's narrative structure of equilibrium, disequilibrium and new equilibrium.  2.)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5i5ERDE_2E  (opening to House M.D) The opening already clears the narrative of the show to be a hospital drama due to the imagery used of CT scans and X-rays, already creating an enigma code of "what is being shown on screen?". 3.) Katniss Evergreen (Hunger games), Jinx (Arcane) and Eren Yeager (attack on titan) 4.) An example of binary opposition is the classic "good vs evil" story line, for example 'Harry Potter' where Harry (protagonist: good) and Lord Voldemort (antagonist: bad). 5.) The example provided in the sheet is when a police officer captures a criminal in a criminal drama the ideology of law and order is emphasised to the audience.  6.) Both engima and action codes bring upon feelings of suspense and drama which both release (small) amounts of dopamine which makes the overall expe...
