Kolářová, Marta. 2004. „Gender Representation in the Alternative Media of the Anti-Globalisation Movement“. Sociologický časopis/Czech Sociological Review. 40 (6): 851-868. ISSN 0038-0288.

The article is focused on the visual gender representation in the anti-globalisation movement by the alternative media. British and Czech alternative magazines are compared. The anti-globalisation struggle is represented as gendered and traditional gender roles are reproduced in the alternative media. Women are mostly associated with non-violent actions while men are often depicted as fighters. The violent protest is considered more effective and important.
