Contents:
In this seminar, the various forms of gendering will be introduced, the potential for conflict will be discussed in terms of acceptability and comprehensibility, and empirical research will be conducted in group work. The following research questions will be addressed: How are gender constructions perceived and processed? How acceptable are these textualization strategies, how comprehensible are they?
Methodologically, we will use eye tracking to test the readability of the texts (e.g. in relation to the asterisk). In addition, questionnaire-based methods will be used to explore acceptability and comprehensibility in the population. At the end of the project week, there will be a student conference where we will present our research findings. A written term paper is required to pass the course.
