Carine Natin, 'An Exploration of Masculinities in Levelled Texts', [Thesis], 2017-05Abstract:
This document analysis examines how hegemonic and non-hegemonic
masculinities are portrayed in levelled texts. Using the principles of
grounded theory, the texts and illustrations of a sample of eleven
chapter books used in schools for 2nd class children were examined.
Non-hegemonic masculinities were depicted as acceptable ways of
“doing” gender provided that they also attempted to engage in
hegemonic practices. In most cases, masculinities were constructed in
opposition to femininities. The texts reflected the heteronormativity of
Western primary classrooms.
