Abstract
This research analyzes evolving masculine representations in the discourse used by brands. A corpus of twenty brands communications is analyzed with a historical perspective. Using a semiotic approach, the preliminary findings, which provide support to Mc Cracken’s theory of social values movement, are discussed.
