Theorizing Gender in Contemporary Canadian Citizenship: Lessons Learned from the CBC's \Greatest Canadian\ Contest
2006
Overview
In this article, I have used the 2004 Greatest Canadian contest as an example of media's educational function. Contrary to mainstream discourse of gender-neutral citizenship, this contest reiterates a notion of Canadian citizenship as masculinized, classed, and raced. Gramsci's concepts of \"hegemony,\" \"ideology\", and \"common sense\" and Arnot's concept of gender and class \"codes\" anchor this analysis. Drawing on Canadian feminist and critical race scholarship, and contrasting feminist liberal and feminist postmodern perspectives, I have explored the complications of gender and democratic citizenship, and exposed the limitations of liberal democracy for realizing equity and social justice.
