Analyze Female Image Constructing In The Star Reality TV Under The Perspective Of Feminism

In recent years,there have been a number of domestic reality shows,such as the male group competition program "Idol Trainee" and the female group competition program "Create 101","Youth Have You" and so on,in which the contestants are generally youthful,cute,fashionable and beautiful,and the contestants are glamorous on stage and practice desperately off stage,and the audience can witness the tears and laughter of the contestants.This type of variety show,which uses reality TV to record the "raising" of idols,is highly sought after by viewers,especially young viewers.In June 2020,MANGO TV,a domestic entertainment trendsetter,reversed its thinking and focused on two hot topics: female groups and older women,creating a reality show with mainly female artists over 30 years old.Through the selection of 30 30+ artists,after three months of training and competition,the live audience will vote for the group.The show’s slogan "30 and LIXI,Youth in Place" sought to break the stereotypes of women’s groups and give the show a profound meaning,reflecting the media’s awareness of keeping up with the times and a sense of social responsibility to respond to reality.This dissertation has five chapters.The introduction introduces the research background of this dissertation,the theoretical and practical significance of the research as well as the research methodology and theoretical foundation,and composes and summarizes the current research status from three aspects.First,it summarizes several representative views within feminism,summarizes the development history of feminism into three waves of feminist movements,analyzes the different feminist theoretical schools produced in each wave and the issues discussed,then composes the overview of domestic feminist media research;finally,it meticulously classifies and composes domestic female media image research,focusing on and discussing the Finally,the research on female media image is carefully classified and sorted out,focusing on and discussing the current situation of female image research in variety shows.Chapter 2 gives a brief introduction to the program positioning,the main content of each episode,the selection of guests and the competition mechanism of "The Sister Who Rides the Wave".The third chapter analyzes the social and personal reasons for the reshaping of women’s image.The content of the second and third chapters lays the foundation for the analysis of female image in the fourth chapter of the program.The fourth chapter section analyzes the construction process of female image from three major perspectives: visual,behavioral and linguistic.It also identifies three representative characters as case studies to analyze what kind of female images are constructed in variety shows and the effects of the programs brought about.Chapter 5 further explores the results of female image construction and the influencing factors in the process of female image construction on the basis of the previous chapter.It is pointed out that although the program "Sisterhood of the Ride" superficially tries to break the shackles of male gaze and tries to establish an independent evaluation system for women,it is still manipulated by the logic of capital and traffic above,while people’s long-standing stereotypes of women still exist.Finally,we conclude that the variety show has made useful attempts to show women’s diversified and personalized images,weaken male gaze,build women’s community and explore women’s bodily dynamics,and to a certain extent,it has built an independent,confident,brave and dedicated female subject image of women over 30 years old.However,we also need to see that its expression of female subject consciousness is still lacking.In order to properly construct an independent,full-bodied female image,enhance female consciousness and improve female status,and get rid of the "male-centered" situation,on the one hand,it is necessary to have a correct understanding of female beauty and accept multiple aesthetics.On the other hand,we need to break the stereotype of women and pay attention to their inner beauty.In a word,it is necessary to establish a correct view of gender,aesthetic standards and values,and only in this way can we construct a comprehensive and rich female image and show the real charm of women.
