Abstract

This thesis aims at the study of gender construction in images publish in books on Underwater Archaeology. In other words, the idea is to observe how the notions of femininities and masculinities were constructed within the development of Underwater Archaeology. This study gathers various theoretical post-modernism aspects. After all, it presumes that both images (regardless of its nature) and gender relations are imbued with interests and subjectivities. An analysis that relates gender studies and images published in Underwater Archaeology books will produce a discourse on how masculinities and femininities changes through time. Thus, this study unites question regarding both gender theory and History of Archaeology (AU)
