“In a world ordered by sexual imbalance, pleasure in looking has been split between active/male and passive/female. The determing male gaze projects its phantasy on to the female figure which is styled accordingly” (Mulvey 1979, p. 808)

 

TOPIC 5: BOYS TOYS

“From this perspective, children’s LEGO-based play is part of a developmental process that is mediated by cultural tools. Moreover, these cultural tools are steeped in societal values, expectations, and norms for behavior that may influence how children envision possibi- lities for play with such cultural artifacts, as well as how they envision the potential for their own interactions within broader sociocultural contexts.” (Black, et al.  2016, p. 6) 

 

TOPIC 6: RACIALIZED MARKETING

With an estimated 5.5 per cent of the UK population, and annual spending power of £10 billion, the size of the ethnic minorities population is sufficiently large that they cannot be treated as marginal.
