Gender performativity




Abjection - The horror of something that doesn't belong

Gender performativity  -


'We all know why you like her so much, Crusty Sheets' is an example of Toby's actions towards Anita affecting the others around him. 

Matty is the classic Tomboy, swearing 'Shut up, Nobcock' showing Matilda (Matty as she prefers to be called) does things that a typical girl wouldn't. 

Leo Enters the Brothel

 Leo is seen as assertive and in control, the alpha male, with the pointing, the aggressive tone in his voice, he never shouts he just snarls to get across his point.  This is seen when he tells Max to not make himself obviously a Cyborg.  When he enters the Brothel, he seems more shut away, looking down, on a mission without making it obvious to those who work there, he then throws down the tablet when he chooses 'Number 7' probably out of uncomfortableness, seeing his friend acting and performing this way, he sees how she has to act with everyone that comes in and wants her, this makes him very uncomfortable

He casually walks into the Brothel, he is determined, the green clothes depicts camouflage, he is a solider, an outsider, he marches in, the tracking shot indicates his importance, the aggressive gesture to a civilian who eyes him up shows his dominance, the back alley of the city creates a direct opposition to the home Anita is in.  He puts his hand on Fred's shoulder, saying 'we'll find Fred, we'll find Mia' this is an alpha gesture reassuring Fred that they will find him, 'we' meaning him.  When he is in the Brothel, Leo is acting like a man, chucking down the tablet and swaggering off, chucking the money to the receptionist.  Nishka is clutching her breasts and pouting her lip, enticing Leo and making it all seem as authentic as possible, Leo is disgusted and is getting an insight to the act she has to play for everyone that chooses her.

The Tide Advert

Image
The hand drawn Mes en Scene instantly shows how dated this advert is.  The target audience is women aged from 30+, housewives.  The tagline is a very stereotypical and represents women as only wanting good washing powder and assumes that they are not allowed to have any other wants except Tide, it comes across demanding and persuasive as if Tide has not got what you want you're not a 'real' woman.  The sans serif font looks to be created by hand and the red has connotations of love and a love for Tide washing product.  The way the women is looking up, looking smitten and percing her lip as if ready to kiss to the box which is a proairtic code, also shows her absolute devotion to the washing powder. Tide was started in 1946 and is still available to this day and is still the market leader to this day.  DMB&B advertising agency ran the advertising for Tide.  Its campaign is referred to as P&G as their market research showed that consumers had conf...
