Nonbinary Gender in Popular Culture

Diplomsko delo s področja antropologije spola se ukvarja z nebinarnim spolom in njegovo reprezentacijo v popularni kulturi, natančneje v filmih in nadaljevankah. Spolno nebinarne osebe lahko opišemo kot posameznike_ce, ki samih sebe ne doživljajo znotraj tradicionalnih binarnih okvirjev spola, torej izključno kot moške ali ženske. Čeprav je v zadnjih letih vedno več govora o nebinarni spolni identiteti in s tem tudi njenega večjega sprejemanja, spolna nebinarnost ni nov pojavprisotna je namreč bila v vseh časovnih obdobjih ter na vseh celinah – skupine spolno nebinarnih posameznikov lahko najdemo v Evropi, Ameriki, Aziji ter v Oceaniji. V zadnjem času je naraslo prikazovanje spolne nebinarnosti v množičnih medijih, tako v časopisih, pri televizijskih poročilih kot tudi v popularni kulturi. Vse več je znanih oseb, ki se opredeljujejo kot spolno nebinarne osebe in javnost ozaveščajo o tem pojavu, prav tako je vedno več spolno nebinarnih likov v filmih in nadaljevankah, kjer so prikazani na različne načine, kar vpliva na njihovo sprejemanje v širši javnosti ter njen odnos do njih.Undergraduate thesis in the field of anthropology of gender discusses non-binary gender and its representation in popular culture, specifically in films and series.
