| essentialism | -some essence in that person that is natural and given eg.: gender is sth of your essence (it is given) eg. when people say that Boy’s don’t cry because their men and it’s not in their nature, etc (essentialist perspective) -looking how a culture creates notions of gender |
| 'Race', Racism and representation | (non-essentialist perspective) -one human race -non-essentialist perspective: ‘race’ as a cultural and historical category ≠ fixed or natural -“a way of making difference signify between people of a variety of skin tones [...] Difference exists whether it is made to signify or not. But how it is made to signify is always a result of politics and power, rather than a question of biology. ” (e.g. We all have different ear sizes or types of nails, however how they are made to (not) signify/mea9n something is significant. (for us it doesn't mean) if it means sth, it is in relation with power |
| Articulation | Cultural texts do not mean by themselves. They have to be articulated (made to mean in contexts). double meaning of articulation: 1.) to utter, to speak 2.) a truck/lorry, that has some kind of linkage that can be broken |
| example of articulation with pictures |
