Analiza prikaza muških i ženskih političara u britanskim tabloidima

This paper analyses the representation of British male and female politicians in two prominent tabloids, The Sun and Daily Mail. The statespeople chosen are the current Prime Minister Theresa May, as opposed to the ex-Prime Minister David Cameron and the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs Boris Johnson. However, apart from the analysis of their representation on various occasions, theoretical approaches to the issue open the question of gender inequality and offer a deeper insight into the sociolinguistic problems. The sociolinguistic approaches listed will be represented in this paper and contrasted to the articles from the tabloids. The main question of the paper is whether there is a difference in the representation of the above-mentioned politicians and whether the two tabloids have different approaches to each gender. The results confirm that there is a significant variation in representation as women are more frequently presented in a negative way. As for the tabloids, no significant difference has been found – both male and female politicians are portrayed in very similar ways in the two tabloids.Ovaj rad analizira način na koji su muški i ženski britanski političari predstavljeni u dva popularna tabloida, The Sun i Daily Mail. Odabrane političke figure su trenutačna premijerka Theresa May koja je suprotstavljena bivšem premijeru Davidu Cameronu i ministru vanjskih poslova Borisu Johnsonu. Osim analize načina na koji su predstavljeni u raznim prigodama, teorijski pristup problematici otvara pitanja o nejednakosti spolova i nudi dublji uvid u sociolingvističku problematiku. Rad uvodi sociolingvističke pristupe i koristi ih kako bi analizirao članke iz navedenih tabloida. Glavno istraživačko pitanje je postoji li razlika u predstavljanju gore navedenih političara te razlikuje li se pristup spolovima u ova dva tabloida. Rezultati potvrđuju značajnu razliku u predstavljanju budući da su žene češće predstavljene na negativan način. Što se tiče tabloida, ne postoji značajna razlika – i muški i ženski političari su prikazani na vrlo sličan način u tabloidima
