Theoretical framework: The empirical findings are analyzed through theoretical framework using discourse analysis, gender equality and feminism theory. Categorization and stereotypes are key tools for exploring patterns and statements in the advertising images.
Findings: We found that advertising lags the discourse of gender equality. Through a historical image analysis we could see that the advertising images are not completely following the emerging gender equality discourse in Sweden. The traditional stereotypes from 1950’s still exist in advertising images in 2016 but we can see some changes in terms of new stereotypes. In the end of the study we could see that advertising images does not fully reflect the prevailing gender equality discourse in Sweden.
