Cíle předmětu
The course is focused on media representation of female heroines in different media contents. Its attendees will learn about different media representations of females in media, ranging from advertisement, TV series, movies etc. We will talk about the importance of media representation in the context of typical “representation tropes” associated with female heroines. After the theoretical background is discussed in each seminar, examples from movies, TV series, news, and advertisement will be presented and analyzed in group discussions. An active approach from students is expected and required for the successful completion of the course.

Metody hodnocení
- compulsory attendance of seminars (two absences allowed)
- activity during class and at home - discussions, compulsory reading, and watching!
- presentation at the end of the semester: “My female heroine” Group of 3, max 4. Each team has to have at least 3 participants. The heroine can originate in a book, movie, or TV series (and other media if you find such). You will have 25 minutes to say and show who it is, why this is an important (or conversely toxic) heroine (to/for you and generally), and what is "good and/or bad" about her representation (while using some theoretical background you learned). Summing up - why should we be interested in her in our course? You have to stick to the time frame and use part of it for discussion with your colleagues.
