Abstract

In this article, I have used the 2004 Greatest Canadian contest as an example of media’s educational function. Contrary to mainstream discourse of gender ‐ neutral citizenship, this contest reiterates a notion of Canadian citizenship as masculinized, classed, and raced. Gramsci’s concepts of “hegemony,” “ideology”, and “common sense” and Arnot’s concept of gender and class “codes” anchor this analysis. Drawing on Canadian feminist and critical race scholarship, and contrasting feminist liberal and feminist postmodern perspectives, I have explored the complications of gender and democratic citizenship, and exposed the limitations of liberal democracy for realizing equity and social justice. Key words: informal education, media, feminism, Antonio Gramsci Se servant du concours « The Greatest Canadian » organise par la chaine anglophone de Radio Canada en 2004, l’auteure illustre dans son article la fonction pedagogique des medias. Contrairement au discours dominant sur la citoyennete non sexiste, ce concours reitere la notion de citoyennete canadienne au masculin avec distinction de classe et de race. Les concepts d’« hegemonie », d’« ideologie » et de « bon sens » de Gramsci et le concept de « codes » de genre et de classe d’Arnot servent d’assises a cette analyse. Puisant dans des recherches sur les femmes et les races au Canada et s’eloignant des points de vue liberaux et postmodernes feministes, l’auteure explore les complications liees au genre et a la citoyennete democratique et expose les limites de la democratie liberale pour l’atteinte de l’equite et de la justice sociale. Mots cles : education informelle, medias, feminisme, Antonio Gramsci
当代加拿大公民身份中的性别理论:CBC最伟大的加拿大比赛的经验教训
在本文中,我以2004年最伟大的加拿大人比赛为例,说明媒体的教育功能。与性别中立的公民身份的主流话语相反,这次比赛重申了加拿大公民身份的男性化、阶级化和种族化的概念。葛兰西的“霸权”、“意识形态”和“常识”概念以及阿诺的性别和阶级“代码”概念为这一分析奠定了基础。借鉴加拿大女权主义和批判性种族学术,对比女权主义自由主义和后现代主义女权主义的观点,我探讨了性别和民主公民的复杂性,并揭示了自由民主在实现公平和社会正义方面的局限性。关键词:非正式教育,媒体,女权主义,安东尼奥·葛兰西《最伟大的加拿大人》,2004年,加拿大广播电台英语频道,文学作品,文章,媒介教学功能。话语上的矛盾支配着我们的城市,我们的城市不存在性别差异,我们的城市不存在性别差异,我们的城市不存在性别差异,我们的城市不存在性别差异,我们的城市不存在性别差异,我们的城市不存在性别差异。“霸权主义”的概念,“意识形态”的概念,“理性主义”的概念,葛兰西的概念,“编码”的概念,“类型”的概念,“艺术”的概念,“辅助分析”的概念。《加拿大的女性和种族研究》《后现代女性主义》《自由主义的价值点》《文学探究》《类型的复杂性》《城市民主主义》《揭露民主自由主义的局限性》《平等和社会正义》。主要内容:非正式教育,媒体,女权主义,安东尼奥·葛兰西
