Stereotypes of the female image on the covers of the magazine Blanco y Negro during the Second Republic (1931-1936)
Abstract
This article stems from the research project entitled “The Graphic Representation of Culture in General Interest Magazines during the Second Republic,” and focuses on the symbolism of women in the press during that period. The overall objective is to understand the stereotypes of the female image on the covers of the magazine Blanco y Negro, created by renowned artists. The method consisted of a documentary analysis of the 264 covers published during the Republic (April 14, 1931, to July 18, 1936), which resulted in 214 dedicated to the female image. The stereotypes presented on these covers fall into the following categories: Identity (modernity, fashion, and classicism); Activity (culture, sports, family, religion, and work); and Trend (local customs and exoticism).
