Research subject Feminist Cultural Studies
Within this scientific approach, culture is studied as aesthetic, bodily and material practices from a feminist perspective.
By studying what culture does, rather than what it is, feminist cultural studies researchers are interested in various kinds of meaning-making processes. Meaning and significance are both created and perpetuated through various semiotic sign systems such as image, text and bodily expressions, and through various forms of mediation such as television, newspapers, music and fashion.
