Constructing Gender. The Reproduction of Stereotypes in Football

About this book

Seminar paper from the year 2025 in the subject Gender Studies, grade: 1,0, University of Hamburg (Sozialwissenschaft), course: Qualitative Research, language: English, abstract: The seminar paper begins with a review of existing literature on gender representation in general and in sports specifically, outlining key theoretical frameworks and previous findings to form the research question. It then describes the methodological approach, which involves a comparative analysis of selected media coverage from the most recent men's and women's World Cups, focusing on differences in language and thematic framing. The findings highlight recurring patterns in how male and female players are described and positioned in journalistic narratives. These are then discussed through the lens of gender theory, considering the broader social implications of such representations. Finally, the paper reflects on its limitations and concludes with a summary and suggestions for future research. Konstruktion von Gender: Die Reproduktion von Stereotypen im Profifußball Warum unterscheidet sich die mediale Darstellung von Fußballern und Fußballerinnen so drastisch? Diese wissenschaftliche Analyse untersucht anhand der Männer-WM 2022 und der Frauen-WM 2023, wie der deutsche Sportjournalismus (am Beispiel von Sport Bild) Geschlechterstereotype reproduziert. Die Studie deckt durch einen qualitativen Vergleich zentrale narrative Muster auf: Drama vs. Sachlichkeit: Während Männer in emotional geladene Heldenberichte eingebettet werden, dominiert bei Frauen eine distanzierte, "erzwungene Objektivität". Heroisierung vs. Delegitimierung: Männliche Athleten werden durch Kraft und Dominanz als Helden inszeniert, während die Berichterstattung über Frauen oft durch private Details oder die Reduktion auf traditionelle Rollen von ihrer sportlichen Leistung ablenkt. Sprachliche Macht: Die Analyse zeigt, wie Begriffe wie "unsere Mädels" oder die Verherrlichung von Aggression als männliches Erfolgsmerkmal bestehende Hierarchien zementieren. Ein aufschlussreiches Werk für alle, die die subtilen Mechanismen der Medien und deren Einfluss auf unser Bild von Männlichkeit und Weiblichkeit im Sport verstehen wollen.
