Abstract [sv]

I den här uppsatsen tittar jag närmre på hur Dressmann valt att representera plus size män och redogör för hur den manliga kroppen träder fram utifrån normer kring den manliga kroppen och sätter det i kontrast mot mitt material. Dressmann är ett klädföretag som är duktiga på att inkludera plus size män i sina reklamer. Genom en visuell analys som fördjupas med diskursanalys kommer jag fram till att den manliga kroppen både representeras utifrån rådande normer, men att Dressmann också visar en nyanserad och mer realistisk bild av den manliga kroppen som bryter mot hur Dressmann tidigare representerat kroppen. Avslutningsvis diskuterar jag hur Dressmann i framtiden kan visa vägen för hur plus size kroppen visas och att vi måste se till hur alla kroppar ser olika ut och att ingen är den andra lik, och skapa rättvisa representationer kring kroppen.

Abstract [en]

In this essay I look more closely at how Dressmann chose to represent plus size men and explain how the male body emerges from norms around the male body, to later put that in contrasts with my material. Dressmann is a clothing company that is good at including plus size men in their advertisements. Through a visual analysis that I deepened with a discourse analysis I come to the conclusion that the male body is represented on the basis of prevailing norms, but that Dressmann also shows a nuanced and more realistic picture of the male body that violates how Dressmann previously represented the body. In conclusion, I discuss how Dressmann in the future can show the way for how the plus size body is shown and that we need to look at how bodies actually look, that they all look different from one to another, and create fair representations around the body.
