I'm in the midst of research for a feminist
art project; I'm feeling a bit lost and
am looking for some help and direction. The
purpose of the project is to examine and
debunk common myths about women in societies
today and search for realistic and positive
role models, rather than the stereotypical
representations of women that we see in
the media today.
I am looking for a cultural or psychological
theory about women that is structured
in different stages or sections. An
example of the structure I'm looking
for would be Erikson's or Freud's stages
of development, or Jungian archetypes. I'm
looking for a theory that explores
one of the following areas: female stages
of development, female archetypes,
roles of women in society/social classes,
women role models... or something
else along these lines. I am not necessarily
looking for something that falls into line
with my progressive views; it might
even be interesting to explore and denounce
inaccuracies in the way women have been
perceived or represented over time. |
