They also argue that explanations for such a gendered field should not be based on status differences between men and women but should focus on how dominant relationships differentiate male behavior and female behavior in politics. In this paper, we examine how, in their 2012 presidential campaigns, Martine Aubry (a socialist leader) and Marine Le Pen (an extreme-right party leader) adopted traditionally masculine strategic identities, and how these were portrayed in the French press. Both female politicians were known for their ‘toughness’; however Aubry was noted as being emotional, while Le Pen was seen to emphasize family life. They embodied a ‘femininity with a twist’. In order to examine the reception of such hybrid personas in journalistic discourse, we examine articles published in the French mainstream press, using quantitative and qualitative approaches. We point out the shared and different strategies and conclude on the periperformativity on the part of the newspapers as far as these ‘gender acts’ are concerned Wed, 01 Jan 2014 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10256/10551 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10256/10550 Leer, Interpretar y (Re)construir: Percepciones de Jóvenes sobre las Mujeres en la Política Santos, Anabela; Cabecinhas, Rosa; Cerqueira, Carla This paper examines reception practices of contents spread through the Portuguese newsmagazines “Sábado” and “Visão”, exploring, in particular, the way young audiences understand, interpret and position themselves in relation to representations of women who hold political posts. The thematic analysis conducted on the data resulting from a sequence of focus group discussions shows that participants tended to prefer readings that were aligned with traditional gender ideology. Despite occasional moments of negotiation, contestation and resistance, the results indicate that most participants did not critically problematize the role of the media in the gendered (re)construction of social reality, supporting instead the reification of the male-political-public and female-personal-private triads. Moreover, participants rarely questioned the economic, socio-cultural and political factors that exert influence on the news production. Informed by a feminist perspective, this study therefore highlights the need to empower the audiences in relation to the gender assumptions that the news media have spread and to reflect about the impact of the media representations on the (re)configuration of the public sphere; El presente artículo analiza las prácticas de recepción de contenidos difundidos por las revistas portuguesas de información generalista “Sábado” y “Visão”, estudiando, en concreto, el modo en el que los públicos jóvenes comprenden, interpretan y se sitúan en relación a las representaciones de mujeres que ejercen cargos políticos. El análisis temático conducido, el cual partió del material resultante de la realización de once grupos focales, muestra que las/los participantes tendieron a favorecer lecturas congruentes con la ideología tradicional de género. Independientemente de los momentos puntuales de negociación, controversia y resistencia, los resultados indican que la mayoría de las/los participantes no problematizó, de forma crítica, el papel de los medios de comunicación en la (re)construcción de la realidad social marcada por el género, apoyando la reificación de las tríades masculino-político-público y femenino-personal-privado. Más allá de eso, las/los participantes raramente cuestionaron los factores económicos, socioculturales y políticos que influyen en la producción informativa. Conformado por una perspectiva feminista, este estudio destaca la necesidad de que se potencie la capacidad de agencia de los públicos de cara a las asunciones de género diseminadas por los medios informativos y se reflexione sobre los eventuales impactos de las representaciones mediáticas a nivel de la (re)configuración del espacio público.

About this dominant trend known as "infotainment", most research is linked to the advancement of television, which has generated a false feeling of emptiness on the existence of “soft news” about politicians (and specifically about women politicians), in printed media. Given the lack of scientific background to explain the presence of the phenomenon beyond the television market, this study analyzes the representation of male and female leaders in highend women's magazines (RFAG) 'Glamour', 'Telva', 'Woman' , 'Elle' and 'Vogue', through interviews published in 2011 on the occasion of the elections to the Spanish Parliament. From a comparative and gender perspective, the objective of this analysis seeks to highlight the proliferation of a particular format: the “soft interview”, composed of personal questions alternated with professional questions, with a greater role of the first option when the gender of the interviewee is female; La creciente espectacularización que ha experimentado la política en la evolución de su relación con medios y ciudadanos se ha convertido en una de las principales fuentes de contenido para los mass media que persiguen ofrecer al público productos informativos mezclados con entretenimiento. Sobre esta preponderante tendencia conocida como “infotainment”, el grueso de investigaciones publicadas aparece ligado al avance de la televisión, lo que ha generado una falsa impresión de vacío sobre la existencia de “noticias blandas” protagonizadas por políticos (y más concretamente por políticas), en medios impresos. Ante la falta de antecedentes científicos que expliquen la presencia del fenómeno más allá del mercado televisivo, este estudio analiza la representación de los líderes y lideresas en las revistas femeninas de alta gama (RFAG) ‘Glamour’, ‘Telva’, ‘Woman’, ‘Elle’ y ‘Vogue’, a través de las entrevistas publicadas en el año 2011 con motivo de las elecciones a Cortes Generales en España. Desde una perspectiva comparativa y de género, el objetivo del análisis radica en evidenciar la proliferación de un particular formato: el de la “soft interview” o “entrevista blanda”, integrado por cuestionarios que alternan las preguntas personales con preguntas profesionales, con un mayor protagonismo de las primeras cuando el entrevistado es mujer Wed, 01 Jan 2014 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10256/10549 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z
