Theories - Semiotics, Feminism and Cohen's Moral Panic

Feminism
Femenism refers to the defining and defending of equal opportunities for women. Feminism mainly focused on the issues with women, but because most femenists seek gender equality, it is arguable that mens rights and issues are also a part of feminism, also showing that men are also effected by sexism.

Semiotics
Semiotics is the study, analysis and signification of signs. Semiotics are mainly divided into three categories.These categories are Semantics: The relevance between signs and what there meaning is, Pragmatics: Relation between signs and the effects that they have on people and Syntactics: Relations of signs in formal structures.

Cohen’s Moral Panic
A moral panic is the feeling expressed by people about an issue that threatens or disturbs the social order. Cohen’s Moral Panic is the thoery that a moral panic occurs when something emerges that is defined as a threat to both societys interests and values.

The chosen genre for my magazine is both indie rock and indie folk, i chose these two genres because personally i listen to this type of music a lot. Bands like Mumford and Sons, Born Ruffians, Noah and the Whale, Arctic Monkeys and Beady Eye fall under the indie rock and indie folk music category, all these bands i regularly listen to and really enjoy their music.
