dc.description.abstractThis study is aimed to explore how gender order becomes hegemonic by enforcing the standards of hegemonic femininity on women in social media spaces that makes them question their bodily autonomy and behavior. In particular, the thesis explores how standards of hegemonic femininity is extensively utilized by the public in order to glorify national culture and traditions that allows the public to come up with the definition behind what it means to be a Kazakh woman, thereby, normalizing punishing those women whose behavior does not align with these standards. By relying on discourse analysis to analyze the content of the available comments found on Instagram, this study represents an attempt to research modern Kazakh nationalism from a critical gendered perspective with a focus on gender-based violence. Thereby, I argue that the diffusion of gender discourses that takes place online contributes to the construction of hegemonic standards of femininity that perpetuates the normalization of gender-based violence as culturally appropriate as well as negative attitudes towards the members of LGBTQ communities as alien to the national identity.en_US
