Representations of gender in learning materials convey an implicit
message to students about attitudes towards culturally appropriate
gender roles for women and men. This collection takes a linguistic
approach to exploring theories about gender representation within
the sphere of education and textbooks, and their effects on readers
and students within an international context. In the opening
section, contributors discuss theories of representation and
effect, challenging the conventional Althusserian model of
interpellation, and acknowledging the challenges of applying
Western feminist models within an international context. Following
chapters provide detailed analyses focusing on a number of
different countries: Australia, Japan, Brazil, Finland, Russia,
Hong Kong, Nigeria, Germany, Qatar, Tanzania, and Poland. Through
linguistic analysis of vocabulary associated with women and men,
content analysis of what women and men say in textbooks, and
discourse analysis of the types of linguistic moves associated with
women and men, contributors evaluate the extent to which gendered
representations in textbooks perpetuate stereotypical gender roles,
what the impact may be on learners, and the ways that both teachers
and learners interact and engage with these texts.
