Abstract

3811 is a pioneering album in Chinese pop music market. It encourages reconsiderations of the stigmas attached to females and promotes gender equality in China. However, there are relatively few studies on stigmas against women in China, and empowerment effect of 3811 was neglected. Based on an integration of labelling theory and social interaction and conflict model, this paper conducts textual analysis to offer insights into the stigmas interpreted by 3811. It demonstrates that 3811 reflects the stigmas embedded in gendered semantic labels. They are closely related to structural inequality, hegemonic masculinity and the lack of women’s education rights. Overall, this study reveals that the recognizing stigmas is the first step of de-stigmatization.
