Phenomenon and evolution of sexism in music criticism in Croatian music magazines

Ovaj rad analizira tri glazbena časopisa - Polet, Nomad i Rolling Stone, s ciljem da potvrdit hipotezu koja tvrdi kako se seksizam kroz desetljeća smanjivao u glazbenoj kritici hrvatskih glazbenih časopisa. Istraživanje je napravljeno zbog toga što sam prisutnost seksizma primijetila čitajući razne glazbene časopise, a sličnih istraživanja na ovu temu nisam pronašla. Prilikom analize kombinirane su kvantitativna I kako bi se dokazala hipoteza. Analiza je potvrdila glavnu hipotezu i pokazala kako danas seksizam u glazbenoj kritici nije izravan kao nekad, ali da i dalje postoji u obliku nezastupljenosti žena u sadržaju.This paper analyzes three music magazines – Polet, Nomad and Rolling Stone trying to prove main hypothesis which claims that, during the years, sexism in music criticism decreased. This research was made because the presence of sexism in music criticism was noticed in many different music magazines, and also because there weren’t any relevant research on this subject. During the analysis, methods of qualitative and quantitative content analysis were used to prove main hypothesis. Analysis had proven main hypothesis and showed that sexism in the music criticism isn’t as direct as before, but exists through low presence of women in the content of such articles
