Pamela Anderson and Marilyn Monroe
Pamela Anderson is one of the latest in a long line of Hollywood sex symbols that reveal a persistent obsession with celebrities as arbiters of sexual standards and knowledge. Specifically, Anderson's star image is situated in relation to Marilyn Monroe's eroticised identity of the 1950s. In addition to the obvious surface similarities that exist with Anderson and Monroe (hyperfeminine, platinum blondes, Playboy centrefolds, numerous marriages, s…
The Continental Exotic sex symbol - Gal Gadot
In every era, the Hollywood sex symbol signifies, in addition to the obvious trait of sexuality, a complicated matrix of social ideals, fantasies and prejudices. Central to many of the ideological issues brought to bear through sex symbols are notions of ethnicity and nationality. Actress Gal Gadot, most famous for her role as the modern Wonder Woman, consolidates and embodies specific ideas about gender and sensuality in relation to class and na…
A city without a hero
The relationship between Batman and the Joker is usually presented as one of opposites: good vs. evil, justice vs. crime, order vs. chaos. Batman has been described as a fictional agent of hegemony, enforcing societal rules and preserving norms, and this role as a defender of the status quo is never more obvious than when he is battling the Joker’s lethal form of anarchy. The recent Joker movie details his origin in a Gotham City before Batman ex…
The Impact of Forest Usage and Accessibility on the Perceptions of its Users and Surrounding Residents
Forests provide valuable ecosystem services to individuals that live near them and visit them. However, many forests, especially in highly developed areas, are specifically managed for resource conservation purposes. A common practice for conservation is restricting access to people to ensure minimal human-driven harm. While the restriction of human access to a forest increases its biological ecosystem services, it limits its cultural services an…

WheresRey
The blockbuster film Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) earned over $2 billion dollars at the box-office worldwide and became a cultural phenomenon. Produced by media giant Disney, The Force Awakens also generated huge merchandising sales and earned over $9 billion within a year. The film’s main protagonist, Rey, was heralded as a strong, feminist-influenced heroine that capably carved her own space within the male dominated Star Wars universe. …
Class and Feminine Excess
Cultural concerns about race, class and beauty often intersect with mass-mediated depictions of the female body. Drawing on Foucault's theories about disciplining the public body, this article examines the changing public perception of Anna Nicole Smith from an ideal beauty to a white trash stereotype. This analysis argues that Smith's very public weight gains, her outrageous behaviour and her legal battle for her late husband's fortune is presen…
The Tortures of Mel Gibson
The long-standing tradition of male masochism in popular cinema represents a dilemma for psychoanalytically informed gender studies. The persistent image of heroic male bodies bruised, beaten, and displayed for the film audience challenges the gendered binaries that have characterized such moments of powerlessness as feminine. The excessive physical tortures endured by Mel Gibson's characters in such movies as Lethal Weapon, Braveheart, and most …
Comic Book Masculinity and the New Black Superhero
Following in the footsteps of feminist scholarship there have, in recent years, been a number of studies which have begun to consider masculinity, particularly heterosexual masculinity, as a social construction. Masculinity, always regarded as a natural, stable gender identity, is in the process of being deconstructed on a variety of levels from social politics to pop psychology. Moreover, the masculinity of our media-generated heroes is increasi…

Gender and the Action Heroine
The figure of the tough heroine in early 1990s action films crosses variable gender boundaries; she is a performance of masculinity in Aliens and Terminator and is the reinscription of a feminine masquerade in Point of No Return. As one of the most dominant genres of popular cinema since the early 1980s, the action film has done much to construct the body of the male hero as spectacle. The well-displayed muscles of such heroic icons as Sylvester …
