Representation of kurdish women in Huck Magazine

  • They are represent as strong and powerful and independent, once they going the army, while at home they have no power and are weak and need to be dependent on men. Women seem powerful, strong and independent, able to step up and take control other own lives. This is done through reinforcing and keeping on repeating their achievements, and using exaggeratives to describe them, which makes them seem even stronger and more powerful. The body language and their costume used in the images is also really effective. they are wearing  a uniform, which higlihts that they  are professionals, and they are serious and standing straight, which hilights the seriouness nature of their cause.
  • it is a more modern magazine, so since the article is on women stepping up and becoming powerful by joining the army, it reflects Huck’s modern and open minded views, and it highlights how it is for a young target audience.
  • I believe the audience would want to aspire to be like these women, to be strong, powerful, able to step un and protect themselves. The audience is positioned as if it was on the kurdish woman's side, as they are represented as innocent and as doing the right thing to protect themselves and their country.  it feels like we are expected to feel totally supportive of them and their causes, and take example from them and follow their paths. Bell hooks (feminism is a struggle to end sexist and patriarchal society and ideology of domination)- women are fighting for their rights, in order to be as powerful as men. they had to leave their countries and train hard in order to be accepted.
  • race and class and sex determine the extent to which individuals are discriminated against or oppressed. - they were told at homee that they were going have to spend the rest of their lives in the domesticc spherre, since they were women, and that men had power over them ,
