Beschreibung
Seminar paper from the year 2023 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Other, grade: 1.7, Bielefeld University, language: English, abstract: The picture book Pink is for boys, written by Robb Pearlman and illustrated by Eda Kaban focuses on breaking up stereotypical associations between certain colours and gender. Children start to explore their sexuality and their gender in primary school, where they will be confronted with certain expectations connected to their gender. This term paper will focus on the how the book tackles such a sensible topic. The first chapter functions as an opener into the broad field of gender stereotypical associations that are connected to certain colours. The third chapter solely focuses on the analysis of the picture book while highlighting the importance of this topic, just like the second part of this term paper. The last segment emphasises the importance of talking about gender stereotypes and the possible implementation of this book, as an opener, in class. As we have seen, many children articulated personal struggles and pressures in trying to get their gender/sexuality “right” and most had, at one time or another, been subject so some form of gender-based or sexualised teasing (or Othering) for stepping outside of failing to project appropriate ”masculinities” or “femininities”. (Renold 2015) Bullying has always been a huge part of everyone’s school life. Either on the receiving end or the distributing end. Those who experience bullying at first hand are mostly classified as different in comparison to the social norm. Some kids who openly display non stereotypical aspects of their gender such as sports, fashion, hobbies in general or - to sum it up, what they like, are often targeted by “normal” kids for their otherness (ibid.). Therefore talking about gender stereotypes should be part of the syllabus in primary school. This picture book can be used as an opener in class to tackle a part of this issue by talking about the message of Pink is for boys.
