Abstract
This thesis is concerned with the problem of how women, with emphasis on their gender are represented in the world of metal subculture. Crucial cultural concepts such as representation, gender, sexual objectification, male-dominance, cultural identity and male gaze are connected with the wider topic of this thesis which is metal subculture. It is perceived as a special environment where its members’ cultural identities and mental concepts, according to Saussure’s theory, are formed under the influence of the whole subculture’s mentality and representation of every object or phenomenon. When analysing the representation of women in metal subculture, a link with the opposition in popular and high culture is drawn according to the definitions and theories by Stuart Hall. When describing metal as a subculture, a concept of moral panic is taken into consideration as one of the prevailing in wider society when it comes to innovations.
Abstract (croatian)
Ovaj rad bavi se problemom predstavljanja žena s obzirom na njihov rod u metalu kao subkulturi. Bitni kulturološki pojmovi poput reprezentacija, rod, seksualno objektiviziranje, muška dominacija, kulturološki identitet i muški pogled su povezivani sa širom temom ovog rada koja je metal kao subkultura. Subkultura je promatrana kao posebna okolina gdje se, prema Saussureovoj teoriji, oblikuju i razvijaju kulturološki identiteti i mentalni koncepti njenih pripadnika pod utjecajem mentaliteta cijele subkulture i reprezentacije svakog objekta ili fenomena, gdje spadaju i žene. Pri analizi reprezentacije žene u metalu kao subkulturi, povučena je i poveznica s popularnom kulturom kao oprečnom visokoj kulturi prema definicijama i teorijama Stuarta Halla. Prilikom približavanja metala kao subculture, uveden je i koncept moralne panike kao jedan od prevladavajućih u širem društvu kad se radi o inovacijama.
