The students read an article written by a French academician, Bruno Rigolt, Doctor of Letters and Humanities, entitled "La femme comme objet de consommation" (Women as objects of consumption) which shows how, since Simone de Beauvoir's essay "Le Deuxième sexe" (The Second Sex) published in 1949, society has been involved in the construction of gendered identities to the point of reducing women to the status of pure objects, using examples from myths, songs, advertisements and works of art. 
Then they looked for four topics that would characterise the metaphor of the woman as an object in the article and associate each topic with 10 or so words used in the article.

 

The students proposed their reading of the article in the combined form of a word cloud and a mind map
