Denotation - rich woman wrapped in gold shaped like the perfume bottle.

Connotation/signified - wealth, status, luxury, class, status, female empowerment.

Mid shot, eye level, relatable.

She takes up most of the frame and the background is gold, blurred, almost irrelevant. Gazing at the consumers.

Very powerful pose.

Being a member of the LGBTQ community is difficult to exist in Asian countries, but this film brings this issue to the forefront of the viewer's mind and the parents' attitude towards their daughter is a lesbian.
The daughter's coming out to the family is also an attempt to fight against traditional Asian culture.]]> 2023-10-19 11:12:46 UTC https://padlet.com/smckeown8/qh3xn2rf7atk9e8m/wish/2754410024 https://padlet.com/smckeown8/qh3xn2rf7atk9e8m/wish/2754413345 The Chinese cultural atmosphere has shaped our gender consciousness, and masculinity is dominant in society. Proya, a domestic skincare brand in China, has released a poster on Women's Day that breaks down traditional gender stereotypes. Like the slogan says: It's gender, Not boarder. It shows that occupation have no gender, that we can do anything without being bound by gender prejudices and stereotypes.]]> 2023-10-19 11:15:48 UTC https://padlet.com/smckeown8/qh3xn2rf7atk9e8m/wish/2754413345 azhang0720231_2 https://padlet.com/smckeown8/qh3xn2rf7atk9e8m/wish/2754416998 This is an ad from Dior towards the Asian market, but using an Asian model with narrow eyes can be related to harmful stereotypes and discriminatory behaviour.

-This ad became the pioneer for feminist ads in the country. "You Can Do It" encouraged women to fight for their right to work after the men came back from war and sent them back to being homemakers.
-Denotation: Glamorous woman in a work uniform. One of many war ads during that time.  
Connotation: Feminism, women's right, we can do it, dominant, confident, empowering, determined, collective, yellow as a war color "hope"
-Like most ads trying to convey representation, Rosie was met with criticism as well. One example is portraying women as masculine in order to validate their existence in the workplace. Others see Rose the Riveter as merely the face of strength and determination.
-the gaze - directed at women from women
-Graphic artist J Howard Miller created this image for women in the 1940s.

Context of time: after 9/11 —> Muslim with Aspergers in America and his encounters with racism, Islamophobia 

His voice is being silenced through violence and his inability to express himself due to Aspergers

Explicit meaning: “I’m not a terrorist” vs. racist policemen, state and the wider systemic issues engrained in US government & history

Constant struggle to prove that Islam and Terrorism are not one

People from the marginalised communities are usually silenced or there stories are being re-told by 'superior' entities that do not fully comprehend their struggles or choose to portray them in a way that benefits them --> e.g. although the protagonist is so desperately trying to prove that he is not a terrorist, this sort of violence is ascribed to him by post 9/11 America
