Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject Sociology - Gender Studies, grade: 1,0, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, course: Representations: The Communication Culture, Identity and Society, language: English, abstract: This essay introduces various concepts of identity formation, including hegemony, discursive formation and invented categories. On the basis of these concepts, it discusses masculinity and femininity in the movie 'Bridget Jones's Diary', comparing the leading men Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) and Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) with each other, and the heroine Bridget Jones (Renée Zellweger) with the seemingly perfect Natasha. Secondly, the essay seeks to evaluate the role of the feminine gaze and objectification of Cleaver and Darcy.
