| Summary: | This qualitative study of Pakistani-Urdu
wedding songs allows a closer look at the gender situation,
and towards the understanding of the process of
construction and perpetuation of gender-based
stereotypes. However, the major concern of this study is to
understand the portrayal of each gender along with the
question that does such portrayal underlines the
traditional gender roles and gender inequality. Taking a
discourse analysis perspective, this study analyzes textual
data from the lyrics of the seventeen wedding songs. The
song selection was based on purposive sampling
technique. The data were collected through transcription
and recording of the audios of the songs. As a result of
thematic analysis thirteen themes emerged, ten portraying
the female gender and four portraying the male gender.
These themes reveal important findings that support and
reinforce the gender-based stereotypes and also reflect
gender hierarchy, normative heterosexual relationships,
kinship norms and gender subversions. |
