Type: article

Abstract: This article puts up for a brief cultural comment some videoclips of Anglo-American songs from the 1950s and the 1960s, which, while displaying the visual centrality of women and the beauty of the female body, also (re)produce stereotyped gender images, as well as overt or implicit macho assumptions and prejudices.KEYWORDS: Anglo-American music (1950s-1960s), representations and images of women (1950s-1960s), female stereotypes, women as "dolls", "Paper dolls" RESUMO: Este artigo propõe para um breve comentário cultural alguns videoclips de canções britânicas e norte-americanas das décadas de 1950 e 1960, que, ao mesmo tempo que atestam a centralidade visual da mulher e a beleza do corpo feminino, (re)produzem imagens estereotipadas do género, bem como pressupostos e preconceitos tendencialmente ou explicitamente machistas.
