A Feminist Representation in Pakistani Cinema: A Case Study of “Bol” The Movie

摘要

The Study analyses the Pakistani movie ‘Bol’ particularly from the feminist perspective. Qualitative discourse analysis is the method used by the researcher. To analyze feminist ideology five categories (realization of self, concept of patriarchy, challenging patriarchal ideologies, male chauvinism and reproductive rights) are constructed. Findings show that the movie is based on liberal feminist ideologies. The analysis also finds the fact that creation of ideologies and distribution of power is done through language. Study explores the ways through which ideologies are constructed and manipulated through media.
