Swinging Femininity En studie av chick flick-genren

Summary, in Swedish

Swinging feminity, A study of chick flick genre In this paper I attempt to study different characterizations of chick flicks in Europe and USA. The study consists of a theoretical part in which I study various aspects of chick flick. Characteristics, definition, presumptions and history of the genre are in focus in this part. I will then discuss the genre’s relation to feminism and post-feminism considering a transatlantic context. Eventually I will apply this theory to one film from each continent. The films are Beautiful Lies (2010) [org. title De vrais mensonges] from France and an American film, namely All About Steve (2009). A vital hypothesis for this paper is that American movies adapt a post-feministic approach where European films usually embrace feminism in their characterization. This hypothesis is based on the orientation of western feminism theory after its crisis during the 1980's.
