项目摘要

The proposed research expands this researcher's MRes by focusing on the adaptability of hegemonic femininity - an area little explored in Language and Gender research. The concept of hegemonic masculinity was introduced by Connell (1987, p. 300) as: 'the maintenance of practices that institutionalise men's dominance over women'. However, Connell was criticised for neglecting the theorisation of femininity (Budgeon, 2014). The concept of hegemonic femininity was later defined by Schippers (2007, p. 94) as: 'the possession of characteristics defined as womanly that establish and legitimate a hierarchical and complementary relationship to hegemonic masculinity'. By this definition, those people who identify as woman(ly), and yet enact practices which challenge the patriarchal system, will be subordinated to those women who comply with the ideal of a complementary, heteronormative gender binary. However, how hegemonic femininity may adapt to the current socio-political climate has been neglected in both theory and research. This project will fill this gap by investigating the dialogic relationship between global political debate and local gender practices, which is increasingly played out through both mainstream and social media. The research will be practical, accessible and understandable by focusing on representations of femininity across the media, which is a powerful influencer of day-to-day gender practices. The research will fulfil a moral obligation of researchers to provide insights which have the potential to improve society.

拟议的研究通过关注霸权女性气质的适应性来扩大研究人员的MRE，这是语言和性别研究中很少探索的领域。康奈尔（Connell，1987，p。300）引入了霸权男性气质的概念：“维持使男性对女性的统治地位的实践”。然而，康奈尔因忽视女性气质的理论而受到批评（Budgeon，2014年）。霸权女性气质的概念后来由Schippers（2007，p。94）定义为：“拥有定义为具有妇女的特征，建立并合理了与霸权男性气质的等级和互补关系”。按照这个定义，那些被识别为女性（ly）但又构成挑战父权制制度的实践的人将服从那些遵守互补，异构性别二进制理想的妇女。但是，在理论和研究中都忽略了霸权女性气质如何适应当前的社会政治气候。该项目将通过调查全球政治辩论与当地性别习俗之间的对话关系来填补这一空白，这是通过主流和社交媒体越来越多的。通过关注媒体上女性气质的表现，这项研究将是实用，易于理解的，这是日常性别实践的有力影响者。该研究将履行研究人员的道德义务，以提供有可能改善社会的见解。
