Feminism through body language in popular culture (English)
Abstract [en]

By performing a qualitative discourse research, this study seeks to analyse the modern day feminist woman as presented in Beyoncé’s visual album Lemonade (2016) via two body language aspects: postures and gestures. By connecting the presence or absence of specific postural and gestural aspects to meanings attributed to these by researchers and theorists, this study concludes that Lemonade portrays sexual objectification mixed with an authoritative rejection of powerlessness. The study puts these findings in context with postfeminist trends in popular culture and finds that Lemonade’s version of feminism is in coherence with these.
