漫畫(尤其是武打技擊連環圖)在香港甚為流行。本研究嘗試了解其所潛藏的價值和性別意識,以時下流行之武打漫畫,進行內容分析。發現其對兩性、英雄感和暴力等的描繪都是扭曲及誤置的,估勿論對成年或青少年的讀者,在道德判斷上,也可產生不良的影響。基於相關的發現,為學校和教育工作者所能作的,提出建議。
Comic books, especially those related with martial art and violence, are popular in Hong Kong. This research tries to study the values and gender concepts conveyed in such comics. This study, which is based on content analysis of comics, finds the portrayal of sex, heroism and violence to be both distorted and disproportionate. This can have devastating impact on the moral judgment of the readers, who can be adults as well as teens. Based on the findings, suggestions about how schools and educators can tackle the problem are made.[Copyright of New Horizons: The Journal of Education, Hong Kong Teachers' Associationl is the property of Hong Kong Teachers' Association at http://www.hkta1934.org.hk/]
