FEMALE STEREOTYPES IN DESIGN

Course Description

The scope of the Female Stereotypes in Design course focuses on the history of graphic design to understand how ingrained stereotypes of women emerged and became widespread today. In general, social changes that took place in the Western civilisation during the Industrial Revolution, World War I, the interwar period, World War II, the post-war period, and the Second Wave of Feminism and their effects on women and their image will be discussed. In this regard, similarities between the various images of women generated in the processes of social change will be compared through posters, and the repetitions in the presentation of these images will be traced during class. Besides these lectures, students will also present their research on the topic for a class discussion.
