How to Have Good Sex? The Cosmopolitan’s Construction Common Sense and Consensual View of Sexuality
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of this article is to show which textual devices are used by the most popular women's magazine in Slovenia to construct a commonsense consensual view of female sexuality. A critical discourse analysis of the Cosmopolitan’s advice articles on one of the most intimate parts of the private life – sex – was analysed. I propose that the writers of advice articles use pseudo-intimate, pseudo-scientific and prescriptive discourse to construct ‘common sense’ and a consensus about the contradictory ideology of female sexuality.
