"super Gilrs" And Gender Politics-an Western Marxist Feminist Approach
Abstract
Women as "other" in a long time to create the binary opposition of male one end, the image of the building in accordance with the male set. "Super Girl" in the public poll shows that women began to recover their own aesthetic standards, which is an unconscious rebellion of gender politics, but fundamentally the mass media gather to form a "public event" at best cultural consumption subject, rather than a true subject of public democracy. This paper discusses the cultural phenomenon of 2005's "Super Girls" from a Western Marxist feminist perspective in the back ground that women historically are put into the position opposite to men as the "Other", with their images constructed by men's desires. I hold that the result of "Super Girls" competition through public vote shows that women start to resume their own criteria for beauty. In a degree this is a rebellion to the gender politics, though it seems to be more like an "Event Mass" rather than to be a real subject of democratic politics
