@DrAnnaZsubori
Additional Research Expertise:
My research and teaching incorporate the study of young people’s understanding of their self-image through their perception of Disney Princesses, and thus my work is strongly linked to audience, communication, cultural, film, gender, and media studies, cultural theory and sociology, while examining participants’ sociocultural construction of identity. My doctoral research explores the heterogeneity of the diverse audiences through the participants’ ambivalent and sometimes even contradictory ideas about their identity. My study combines diverse and innovative research methods, such as textual (thematic) analysis of the interviews and visual (semiotic) examination of Eastern European tween’s drawings and building blocks, and the broader contextual investigation of the sessions with Hungarian young people by using NVivo.
