Blog Buddies-task 9

A short summary of Tanya's study:
It's about how and why the representation of Women has changed in the British soap opera "Eastenders"?

Areas of overlap between each study (texts, topics, issues, debates)
Both of our studies are looking at the representation of women and we will both be looking at the same theorist (feminism etc). There are many different female characters in eastenders that are similar to the characters in ugly betty.

What you've each learned from looking at each other's study that might be useful
There's lots of useful information on Tanya's blog- most of the information on wider context is really useful especially the bit about fashion and how it came about and the idea of the 'new woman'. Also, Tanya's done lots of book research and these books will be useful to me. There's lots of theorist i can use as well.

A short summary of Karundeep's study:
To what extent have women’s roles changed in films, paying particular reference to Kill Bill Vol2 and catwoman

Areas of overlap between each study (texts, topics, issues, debates)
Both of our study's are of the representation of women so we will both be looking at feminism and the role of women and how they have changed.
