Gender stereotypes on BookTube : A critical discourse analysis ofwell-known BookTubers videos from a gender perspective. (English)
Abstract [sv]

Studiens syfte är att kritiskt granska och analysera hur kända BookTubers upprätthåller genusstereotyper inom den specifika subkulturen The BookTube Community. Ambitionen är att förstå huruvida subkulturen representerar normer och normativa genusstereotyper. Studiens urval utgörs av de två kvinnliga och de två manliga BookTubers som i dagsläget, januari 2020, har flest prenumeranter. Materialet omfattar fyra YouTube-videor, en från varje BookTuber, där böcker diskuteras i ett generellt sammanhang och inte utifrån någon specifik genre. Analysen är utförd med genusteori som teoretiskt ramverk och kritisk diskursanalys som metod, med Faircloughs tredimensionella modell som utgångspunkt. Det framgår av analysen att kända BookTubers upprätthåller genusstereotyper till viss del genom sitt utseende och sitt uppträdande. Även sättet som de diskuterar litteratur på går att tolkas som genusstereotypiskt i vissa avseenden.

Abstract [en]

The purpose of the study is to critically examine and analyze how well-known BookTubers maintain gender stereotypes within the specific subculture The BookTube Community. The ambition is to understand whether the subculture represents norms and normative gender stereotypes. The selection of the study consists of the two female and the two male BookTubers who currently, in January 2020, have the most subscribers. The material includes four videos, one from each BookTuber, where books are discussed in a general context and not based on any specific genre. The analysis is performed with gender theory as a theoretical framework and critical discourse analysis as a method, with Fairclough’s three-dimensional model as a starting point. It appears from the analysis that well-known BookTubers maintain gender stereotypes to some extent through their appearance and behavior. The way in which they discuss literature can also be interpreted as gender stereotypical in some ways.
