Abstract [sv]

Den här uppsatsen undersöker hur design kan synliggöra rådande maskulinitetsnormer inom gym och träning med syfte att undersöka hur gym bättre tillgodoser gymbesökares behov. Utifrån studiens resultat utvecklas ett normkreativt gymkoncept samt prototyp. Studiens litterära efterforskningar beskriver hur design använts som kritiskt och synliggörande verktyg samt hur maktförhållanden kopplade till rådande maskulinitetsnormer tar sig i uttryck. Studiens koncept och prototyp är ett möjligt förslag på hur en bredare syn på maskulinitet, gym och träning skulle kunna möjliggöra uppfyllandet av fysiska och psykiska behov genom att introducera gymkontexten för värden som inte ryms inom rådande maskulinitsnormer.

Abstract [en]

This study examines how design can be used to highlight the current norms around masculinity within gym and excercise with the purpose of exploring how gyms better meet the gym visitors needs. The result of the study is developed in to a norm-creative concept and prototype. The literary research in the study describes how design has been used as a critical and highlighting tool and how current norms around masculinity and associated power relations expresses itself. The study’s concept and prototype are a possible suggestion for how a widened understanding of masculinity, gym and exercise could facilitate the gym meeting the gym visitors physical and mental needs by introducing values in the gymcontext which isn’t included in current masculinity.
