“…Recently, feminist work in academic circles in the field of communication grew considerably. Some specific areas explored by feminist researchers are the body images displayed on the TV and magazines, the portrayal of women in advertisements, and gendered language patterns in advertisements directed at youngsters (Dow and Condit, 2005).…”

This empirical study aims to investigate the image of beauty standards constructed by the Turkish teen magazines and its relation with the beauty understanding of Turkish Cypriot teenagers. Other issues investigated are the consumption behavior of teenagers who read teen magazines and the body satisfaction of teenage girls. This study employs three different methodologies. Firstly, a content analysis covering 12 issues each spanning 4 years is performed on two popular Turkish teen magazines, Hey Girl and Cosmo Girl, read by Turkish Cypriot girls. Then a questionnaire is applied to 156 girls, for investigating how teen magazines affect the beauty understanding, various behaviors and value judgments of teenage girls. The questionnaire includes a body satisfaction inventory section. Finally, a focus group study is performed with six different groups of girls aged 12-17 years discussing with them their beauty standards, body satisfaction, consumption habits and magazine reading habits. The findings indicate that the ideal beauty concept of Turkish Cypriot girls is very similar to the ideal Western beauty and teen magazines contribute to this as well as other sources of media. Teen magazines are also affecting the consumption behavior of girls. Girls read magazines to get rid of their worries and to get information on fashion and beauty trends and products. Girls show signs of body dissatisfaction especially with regards to their weight.

“…When she was campaigning as a vice presidential hopeful, she told journalist Katie Couric that she considered herself to be a feminist (Couric ). Her extended answer reveals, however, the ways in which feminism's call for gender justice (Dow and Condit ) gets repurposed by postfeminists as a breezy assertion that feminism's work is done. Palin stated, “I'm a feminist who, uh, believes in equal rights and I believe that women certainly today have every opportunity that a man has to succeed, and to try to do it all, anyway.…”

Candidate image is a hyperreal amalgamation of image fragments generated by the politician, her/his campaign communication, news framing, and political pop culture. In the Internet age, a politician's image can be shaped by non‐elite discourses on sites such as Twitter and Tumblr. We develop a theory of the political “meta‐meme,” examining the “Texts from Hillary” Tumblr meme as framed in popular media and redeployed by Hillary Clinton in her Twitter debut. The interplay between elite and quotidian discourses that comprise the “Texts from Hillary” meme and the #tweetsfromhillary meta‐meme illustrates how U.S. presidentiality is shaped by rhetorics of postfeminism.

Acciones públicas de sensibilización de género. El esfuerzo de la administración regional y local en comunicación publicitaria (1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007) Natalia PAPÍ-GÁLVEZ 1 Belén CAMBRONERO-SAIZ 2 Universidad de Alicante RESUMEN:El artículo analiza las iniciativas de comunicación relacionadas con la igualdad de oportunidades entre mujeres y hombres. El objetivo es analizar con enfoque de género las acciones realizadas por parte de las instituciones públi-cas regionales y locales para sensibilizar y promover la conciliación entre la vida familiar y laboral de seis comunidades autónomas (Andalucía, Cataluña, Comunidad Valenciana, Galicia, Madrid y País Vasco) y de sus capitales, desde 1999 (cuando se aprueba la ley de conciliación) hasta 2007 (se aprueba la ley de igualdad). La información sobre publicidad convencional fue proporcionada por Infoadex. Para la recogida de otro tipo de iniciativas a través de medios menos convencionales se acudió a cuatro fuentes institucionales: 1) Ayuntamientos de las capitales, como fuente estrictamente local, 2) Diputaciones de la capital de la Comunidad Autónoma, como fuente provincial, 3) Direcciones Generales de la Mujer o instituciones análogas como fuente de información a nivel regional o autonómico y, por último, 4) otras concejalías vinculadas al tema de la corresponsabilidad, cuyo radio de acción también es autonómico. Los resultados, aunque con diferencias entre regiones, reflejan carencias en la cobertura de las acciones que llevan a cuestionar la falta de estrategia política en términos de comunicación, pese a la introducción sistemática de estos objetivos en la agenda internacional (ONU y UE) y del gobierno español. En consecuencia, las campañas publicitarias e iniciativas recogidas contribuyen a la visibilización del problema y al empoderamiento, pero no tanto al objetivo de la paridad.PALABRAS CLAVE: Concienciación; igualdad de género; publicidad institucional; políticas públicas; conciliación de vida familiar y laboral. TITLE: 182Pensar la Publicidad 2011, vol. 5, nº 2, 181-203 tising was provided by Infoadex. To get information of less conventional media, we use four types of institutional resources:1) city councils of the capitals of the six regions, as a strictly local source, 2) provincial councils of the capitals, as a provincial source, 3) regional directorates for women or similar institutions as a source of information on a regional level, and finally, 4) other council departments linked to the theme of co-responsibility, with a regional scope of action. Although the results show differences between regions, they highlight deficiencies in terms of parity and mainstreaming. The limitations detected in the number and type of actions taken, therefore, prompt us to question the existence of a medium to long-term political strategy as regards communication and education, despite the systematic introduction of these objectives to the international agenda and that of the Spanish government. The advertising campaigns and collected in...
