Masculine Domination and Gender in Bourdieusian Sociology

Abstract

In the study, Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón's movie Roma was examined. The movie takes place in Mexico in the 1970s, at a time when the society demanded change. Instead of questioning the traumatic background of being abandoned by the father, the director focused on the maid of the house and a disaster that happened to her. Alfonso Cuarón, who shot the film in black and white, created it as the director, producer, editor, screenwriter, and cinematographer of the movie. The movie, which is about women's loneliness and gender, will be evaluated based on Pierre Bourdieu's statements on masculine domination.
