Description: The Glamorisation of Male Violence in Pop Culture
Join us in an engaging session to critically analyse how pop culture often portrays male violence as heroic, stylish, or necessary. We will examine examples from films, television, video games, and music, delving into the narratives that glorify aggression and its impact on societal perceptions of masculinity. Using frameworks like feminist theory, critical media studies, and masculinity studies, participants will discuss:
• Why is male violence so often romanticised in media?
• How do these portrayals shape societal expectations of men?
• Are there alternative narratives that challenge this glorification?
This session fosters open dialogue and collaborative exploration, encouraging participants to rethink the cultural norms perpetuated by popular media.
