Male representation (fight club notes)

Section B: The exam

Conell's types:
-hegemonic: Possibly sexist, agression, supreme, heterosexuality
-subordinate
-marginalised
-complicit- admires hegemonic but doesn't have the hegemonic type

Repressed male rage- angry about women becoming stronger

Fight club example clip:
Key things to look for: Narrator and Tyler and Bob
-their costumes and working environment and personality
-and the narrators power animal and what it suggests 

  • Bob has a feminine personality (cries, is made fun of for having feelings) subordinate
  • Narrator is very stubborn and manly but then opens up through therapy
  • Power animal is a penguin 
  • Tyler is the most masculine, bossy, mysterious, less considerate, aggressive manner, lives in a run down place
  • Doesn't allow shirts
