Vivek's study is on "female representation in football"-www.sportsrep-vivek.blogspot.com

Vivek's and my independent study are both very similar as we both are researching and writing about female reperesentation within the media. Therefore we are likely to talk about similar issues, theories and look at similar ideologies. We both hence are likely to look at similar research and can discuss our findings with eachother.

Vivek's blog incorperates good delicious tags in his blog and useful keywords relating to representation of women in the media, additionally we can both learn more about the way women are represented in the media from each others blogs, thorugh textual analysis.


Saz's study is on the Representation of Women in "Sin City"- http://sincity666.blogspot.com/

Saz's independant study is similar to my study as we are both research on the representation, additionally i think that the character roles of the women in boh of our texts are pretty similar (The Sopranos - strippers and whores wnforcing male gaze and mulvey's theory) (Sin City - Prostitutes and Pimps). Therefore i think we will work good together as we are researching same or silmilar thoerists meaning it will benefit us both if one of us finds some interesting research.

An interesting point we both will hope to overcome in our studies are that of the 'Madonna Vs. Whore' debate. Women are not always portrayed to the audience as "eye candy" or "Fetsist", in both our texts there is evidence of both Madonnas and Fetishists which enforce the issues of a patriachal society and the male backlash however some female charatcer roles counter act this debate.

Moreoever Saz has good textual analysis on his blog and also his delicioustags are relevant to my study.
