Representation of gender:
Representation that men go to war and fight in the army.
Adbusters subverts the traditional representation of gender in magazines
Representation is a way of manipulating the audience
The purpose of adbusters is to attack ads and that is their ideology
Capitalism - a society based around money - ADBUSTERS is ANTI capitalist
The representation of women in adbusters is consistently subversive. In every case in Adbusters the gender norms have been subverted and it goes against hegemonic ideas of gender. An example of this would be the images in adbusters often lack anchorage, allowing the readers to assume their own backstory. Adbusters often use a technique called culture jamming in which they use two different pictures. This creates binary opposition which creates conflict of the images. The use of colour in the bottom image connotes wealth and luxury compared to the top image which is in black and white which connotes poverty. By using the females legs on a catwalk connote the fashion industry supporting Lisbett van Zoonens theory about the "male Gaze" but this subverts that as her face is not used and the image has been culture jammed. Adbusters have taken away this away from the audience to show their ideology.

- Use of the Mise en scene on the Louibouton Suggests that this company is all based on money and maybe exploits people like in the picture. But also making the audience think about what they are spending their money on
