Approches Littéraires Contemporaines Pour Contester La Construction Genrée Et Discriminatoire De La Langue Française, Alice Verdier

As a gender based language, French is grammatically constructed through the rigid boundaries of male and female genders.

The study focuses on answering the research question: How is GBV understood, and do current …

Frauen Und Geschlechter In Märchen: Von Der Gebrüder Grimm Zu Disney, Harrison W. Lawrence
Senior Theses and Projects
This thesis explores the representation of gender in fairy tales. Gender is among the most fundamental social constructs. Every culture has unique gender roles, and these roles must be taught to members of a society from a very young age. One of the oldest, and most successful methods of teaching gender roles to people of all ages is through fairy tales. In this thesis I demonstrate many of the subtle ways in which fairy tales are able to communicate powerful lessons about gender. The Grimm Brother’s Kinder und Hausmärchen transformed the fairy tale from oral tradition to literary genre. As …
