Women are for friendships, men are for fucking : En studie av homosocialitet och kvinnlig vänskap i Sex and the city

I denna uppsats studeras den kvinnliga vänskapen i tv-serien Sex and the city utifrån homosocialitetsteorier och framställningen av den kvinnliga vänskapen. Tidigare studier om serien har gjorts men där fann jag en lucka då kvinnornas vänskap inte studerats på ett liknande sätt tidigare. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur den kvinnliga vänskapen gestaltas mellan kvinnorna i serien. För att studera detta Lipman-Blumens homosocialitetsteori använts som definierar homosocialitet som att uppskatta, söka sig till eller föredra umgänge med människor av samma kön. Gothlins teori om vänskap och hur denna porträttreras har använts i studien för att kunna identifiera kvinnors vänskap. Heterosociaiitetsteori tas också upp för att visa på motsatsen till homosocialitetsteorin. Undersökningen av studien är uppdelad i två delar, en kvantitativ del där relevanta inslag klockats för att se hur lång tid ett visst innehåll fått i serien. Samt en kvalitativ analys av innehållet i serien där typiska scener valts ut och analyserats för att förstå innehållet och för att kunna analysera kvinnornas vänskap till varandra. Den genomförda analysen behandlar deras vänskap och visar på att kvinnornas homosociala band och deras vänskap till varandra är betydligt starkare än vad tidigare forskning och teorier benämt. Denna studie visar på att vänskapen i serien tagits till en ny nivå där vännerna inte vara är vänner utan själsfränder och kärlekar utan sexuell dragningskraft till varandra. Där vänskapen är vad som värderas högst och att kvinnorna inte är i behov av en man.

Constructions of active womanhood and new femininities: from a feminist linguistic perspective, is Sex and the City a modernist or a post-modernist TV text?

Sex and the City has been the subject of close scrutiny within feminist scholarship in terms of whether it is considered to be a reactionary or progressive text. While this debate is valuable within a modernist feminist paradigm, it makes less sense from a post-modernist feminist perspective. Alternately using semiotic and feminist post-structuralist methods of textual analysis, this paper shows that Sex and the City can be viewed as reactionary according to a modernist reading, but is altogether more challenging and complex according to a post-modernist reading.

Privacy and the City:user identification and location semantics in location-based social networks

With the advent of GPS enabled smartphones, an increasing number of users is actively sharing their location through a variety of applications and services. Along with the continuing growth of Location-Based Social Networks (LBSNs), security experts have increasingly warned the public of the dangers of exposing sensitive information such as personal location data. Most importantly, in addition to the geographical coordinates of the user’s location, LBSNs allow easy access to an additional set of characteristics of that location, such as the venue type or popularity. In this paper, we investigate the role of location semantics in the identification of LBSN users. We simulate a scenario in which the attacker’s goal is to reveal the identity of a set of LBSN users by observing their check-in activity. We then propose to answer the following question: what are the types of venues that a malicious user has to monitor to maximize the probability of success? Conversely, when should a user decide whether to make his/her check-in to a location public or not? We perform our study on more than 1 million check-ins distributed over 17 urban regions of the United States. Our analysis shows that different types of venues display different discriminative power in terms of user identity, with most of the venues in the “Residence” category providing the highest re-identification success across the urban regions. Interestingly, we also find that users with a high entropy of their check-ins distribution are not necessarily the hardest to identify, suggesting that it is the collective behaviour of the users’ population that determines the complexity of the identification task, rather than the individual behaviour.
