Representation i Marvelfilmerna : - en diskursanalys

Sammanfattning: The purpose of this study is to examine how gender and (non-) whiteness are portrayed in the three Marvel movies Iron Man, The Avengers and Avenger: Endgame. The analysis is based on Fairclough's critical discourse analysis, and is analyzed with the theories of Edward Said, Stuart Hall and Judith Butler, among others. The results show that the films help to produce and reproduce an image of the woman and non-white people as inferior to the man, and the woman as primarily a body. However, there has been some progression between the films released in 2008, 2012 and 2019.
