Studien jämför tv-serierna Girls och Entourage utifrån homosocialitet och samkönad vänskap, det vill säga bromance och womance som det i studien refereras till. Syftet var att undersöka om framställningen av homosocialitet och homosociala band såg olika ut, samt om detta stämde överens med tidigare studier och generella uppfattningar av homosocialitet i såväl mellanmänskliga relationer som i populärkulturen. Homosocialitet beskrivs som prefererade och uppskattade vänskapsrelationer mellan personer av samma kön. Homosocialitet och homosociala normer ligger därför till grund för könssegregering och exkluderandet av kvinnor genom att män tenderar att intressera sig för, välja och bekräfta andra män. Ju starkare homosociala band mellan män desto starkare är deras traditionella genusordning, tvärtom är kvinnans traditionella genusordning starkare om hennes homosociala band är svaga.

Utöver detta har jag med en konsthistoriografisk undersökning fått fram hur den generella bilden av Holzer ser ut..

A mapping process is ongoing in Sweden concerning a phenomenon known as ?honour related violence?. The explanations of ?honour related violence? often focus on culture and ethnicity, thus establishing differences between the majority society and offenders and victims.
