Petnaestogodišnja Tavi Gevinson imala je poteškoće u nalaženju snažnih ženskih, tinejdžerskih uzora – pa je izgradila prostor gdje bi se međusobno mogle naći. Na TEDxTeenu ilustrira kako razgovori na stranicama poput Rookija, njezinog naširoko popularnog mrežnog časopisa od i za tinejdžerice, stvaraju novo, nepokajničko, neizvjesno i vrlo složeno lice modernom feminizmu. (Snimano na TEDXTeen.)

Four years ago today, exactly, actually,
0
466
2097
Prije točno četiri godine
00:18
I started a fashion blog called Style Rookie.
1
2563
3096
počela sam pisati modni blog Style Rookie.
00:21
Last September of 2011, I started an online magazine
2
5659
4120
U rujnu 2011., osnovala sam online časopis
00:25
for teenage girls called Rookiemag.com.
3
9779
3875
za tinejdžerice, Rookiemag.com.
00:29
My name's Tavi Gevinson, and
4
13654
4191
Zovem se Tavi Gevinson,
00:33
the title of my talk is "Still Figuring It Out,"
5
17845
3140
a naslov mojeg govora je „Još shvaćajući“,
00:36
and the MS Paint quality of my slides
6
20985
2247
a MS Bojanje-kvaliteta mojih slajdova
00:39
was a total creative decision in keeping with today's theme,
7
23232
3312
je potpuno kreativna odluka u skladu s današnjom temom,
00:42
and has nothing to do with my inability
8
26544
1616
i nema ništa s mojom nesposobnošću
00:44
to use PowerPoint. (Laughter)
9
28160
3345
za rad u PowerPointu. (Smijeh)
00:47
So I edit this site for teenage girls. I'm a feminist.
10
31505
4560
Uređujem ovaj site za tinejdžerice. Ja sam feministica.
00:51
I am kind of a pop culture nerd, and I think a lot about
11
36065
2871
. Na neki način sam štreber za pop kulturu i mnogo razmišljam o tome
00:54
what makes a strong female character,
12
38936
2416
što čini snažan ženski karakter
00:57
and, you know, movies and TV shows,
13
41352
2088
i, znate, filmovi i TV programi
00:59
these things have influence. My own website.
14
43440
4266
, te stvari utječu. Moj vlastiti website.
01:03
So I think the question of what makes a strong female
15
47706
2791
I mislim kako pitanje o tome što čini snažan ženski
01:06
character often goes misinterpreted,
16
50497
2377
karakter često bude krivo protumačeno,
01:08
and instead we get these two-dimensional superwomen
17
52874
3293
i umjesto njega dobivamo dvodimenzionalne super žene
01:12
who maybe have one quality that's played up a lot,
18
56167
3592
koje možda imaju jednu istaknutu kvalitetu
01:15
like a Catwoman type,
19
59759
2593
kao što je tip Žene mačke,
01:18
or she plays her sexuality up a lot,
20
62352
3878
ili ističe svoju seksualnost
01:22
and it's seen as power.
21
66230
1192
i na to se gleda kao na moć.
01:23
But they're not strong characters who happen to be female.
22
67422
3399
Ali one su snažni karakteri koji su slučajno žene.
01:26
They're completely flat,
23
70821
1728
Potpuno su ravne
01:28
and they're basically cardboard characters.
24
72549
2484
i gotovo su kartonski likovi.
01:30
The problem with this is that then
25
75033
1817
Problem je u tome što ljudi
01:32
people expect women to be that easy to understand,
26
76866
3846
onda očekuju da žene budu lake za shvatiti,
01:36
and women are mad at themselves
27
80712
2327
a žene se izluđuju
01:38
for not being that simple,
28
83039
1342
jer nisu jednostavne,
01:40
when, in actuality, women are complicated,
29
84381
2957
jer su, u stvarnosti, žene komplicirane,
01:43
women are multifaceted -- not because women are crazy,
30
87338
3398
žene su mnogolike – ne zato što su žene lude,
01:46
but because people are crazy,
31
90736
1752
već zato što su ljudi ludi,
01:48
and women happen to be people. (Laughter)
32
92488
3662
a žene su slučajno ljudi. (Smijeh)
01:52
So the flaws are the key.
33
96150
2270
Mane su ključ.
01:54
I'm not the first person to say this.
34
98435
1843
Nisam prva osoba koja ovo govori.
01:56
What makes a strong female character
35
100278
2048
Što čini snažan ženski karakter
01:58
is a character who has weaknesses, who has flaws,
36
102326
4904
je karakter koji ima slabosti, koji ima mane,
02:03
who is maybe not immediately likable,
37
107230
1984
koji možda nije neposredno privlačan,
02:05
but eventually relatable.
38
109214
2462
ali s kojim se moguće povezati
02:07
I don't like to acknowledge a problem
39
111676
1469
Ne volim obznaniti problem
02:09
without also acknowledging those who work to fix it,
40
113145
2666
bez da obznanim one koji rade na popravljanju istog
02:11
so just wanted to acknowledge shows like "Mad Men,"
41
115811
3067
pa sam samo htjela priznati emisije kao „Momci s Madisona“,
02:14
movies like "Bridesmaids," whose female characters
42
118878
2880
filmove poput „Djeveruše“, čiji su ženski likovi
02:17
or protagonists are complex, multifaceted.
43
121758
4131
i protagonisti složeni i mnogoliki.
02:21
Lena Dunham, who's on here, her show on HBO
44
125889
4216
Lena Dunham, koja je ovdje, njezin šou na HBOu
02:26
that premiers next month, "Girls,"
45
130105
2191
koji će biti premijerno prikazan sljedeći mjesec, „Djevojke“,
02:28
she said she wanted to start it because she felt that
46
132296
2517
ona je rekla kako ga je započela jer je osjećala
02:30
every woman she knew was just a bundle of contradictions,
47
134813
2988
da je svaka žena koju poznaje gomila kontradikcija,
02:33
and that feels accurate for all people,
48
137801
2208
i to se čini točnim za sve ljude,
02:35
but you don't see women represented like that as much.
49
140009
2664
ali ne vidite često da se žene takvima predstavlja.
02:38
Congrats, guys. (Laughs)
50
142673
3584
Čestitke, dečki. (Smijeh)
02:42
But I don't feel that — I still feel that there are some types
51
146257
3703
Ali ja ne mislim tako – još uvijek mislim da postoje tipovi
02:45
of women who are not represented that way,
52
149960
2536
žena koji nisu predstavljeni,
02:48
and one group that we'll focus on today are teens,
53
152496
2456
a grupa na koju ćemo se danas usredotočiti su tinejdžeri,
02:50
because I think teenagers are especially contradictory
54
154952
3280
jer mislim da su tinejdžerice posebno kontradiktorne
02:54
and still figuring it out,
55
158232
3040
i još shvaćaju,
02:57
and in the '90s there was "Freaks and Geeks"
56
161272
3349
a u 90ima postojali su „Freaks and Geeks“
03:00
and "My So-Called Life," and their characters,
57
164621
2779
] te „I to mi je neki život“, a njihovi likovi,
03:03
Lindsay Weir and Angela Chase,
58
167400
2656
Lindsay Weir i Angela Chase,
03:05
I mean, the whole premise of the shows
59
170056
2688
mislim, cijela premisa serija
03:08
were just them trying to figure themselves out, basically,
60
172744
3446
bila je u tome da se one pokušavaju shvatiti, u osnovi,
03:12
but those shows only lasted a season each,
61
176190
3098
ali te su serije trajale po sezonu svaka.
03:15
and I haven't really seen anything like that on TV since.
62
179288
4962
i od tada nisam vidjela ništa slično na TVu.
03:20
So this is a scientific diagram of my brain — (Laughter) —
63
184250
6386
I ovo je znanstveni dijagram moga mozga – (Smijeh) –
03:26
around the time when I was,
64
190636
1457
u vrijeme kada sam imala,
03:28
when I started watching those TV shows.
65
192108
2642
kada sam počela gledati te serije.
03:30
I was ending middle school, starting high school --
66
194750
2195
Završavala sam osnovnu školu, počinjala sam srednju.
03:32
I'm a sophomore now —
67
196945
2264
Sada sam druga godina,
03:35
and I was trying to reconcile
68
199209
2756
i dok sam se pokušavala izmiriti
03:37
all of these differences that you're told you can't be
69
201965
2659
sa svim tim razlikama za koje ti kažu da ne možeš biti
03:40
when you're growing up as a girl.
70
204624
1347
kada odrastaš kao djevojčica.
03:41
You can't be smart and pretty.
71
205971
2620
Ne možeš biti pametna i lijepa.
03:44
You can't be a feminist who's also interested in fashion.
72
208591
2823
Ne možeš biti feministica koja je zainteresirana za modu.
03:47
You can't care about clothes if it's not for the sake
73
211414
3894
Ne može ti biti stalo do odjeće ako to nije zbog mišljenja
03:51
of what other people, usually men, will think of you.
74
215308
3033
drugih, obično muškaraca.
03:54
So I was trying to figure all that out,
75
218341
2971
Pa sam to pokušavala shvatiti,
03:57
and I felt a little confused,
76
221312
3301
i osjećala sam se zbunjenom,
04:00
and I said so on my blog,
77
224613
1742
i to sam rekla na svom blogu,
04:02
and I said that I wanted to start
78
226355
4185
, i rekla sam da želim osnovati
04:06
a website for teenage girls
79
230540
2504
website za tinejdžerice
04:08
that was not this kind of one-dimensional
80
233044
3438
koji nije od vrste takvih koji opunomoćavaju
04:12
strong character empowerment thing
81
236482
2704
plošne snažne karaktere,
04:15
because I think one thing that can be very alienating
82
239186
2990
jer mislim da jedna stvar koja može biti vrlo otuđujuća
04:18
about a misconception of feminism is that
83
242176
2632
u lošoj interpretaciji feminizma je da
04:20
girls then think that to be a feminist, they have to live up to
84
244808
3595
djevojke misle da, ako žele biti feministice, moraju biti savršeno
04:24
being perfectly consistent in your beliefs,
85
248403
2491
dosljedne u svojim uvjerenjima,
04:26
never being insecure, never having doubts,
86
250894
3411
nikada nesigurne, bez sumnji,
04:30
having all of the answers. And this is not true,
87
254305
2902
imajući sve odgovore. A to nije istina
04:33
and, actually, reconciling all the contradictions I was feeling
88
257207
4053
istina i, zapravo, pomirba svih proturječja koja sam osjećala
04:37
became easier once I understood that feminism
89
261260
3743
postala je jednostavnija kada sam shvatila da feminizam
04:40
was not a rulebook but a discussion,
90
265019
2187
nije knjiga pravila, već rasprava,
04:43
a conversation, a process,
91
267206
2124
razgovor, proces
04:45
and this is a spread from a zine that I made last year
92
269330
3171
i to je stranica iz magazina kojeg sam napravila prošle godine
04:48
when I -- I mean, I think I've let myself go a bit
93
272501
3350
kada sam, mislim, mislim da sam se malo opustila
04:51
on the illustration front since.
94
275851
2103
na ilustracijskoj fronti od tada.
04:53
But, yeah.
95
277954
3974
Ali da.
04:57
So I said on my blog that I wanted to start this publication
96
281944
4399
Pa sam rekla na svom blogu da želim početi s tom publikacijom
05:02
for teenage girls and ask people to submit
97
286343
2489
za tinejdžerice i pitala sam ljude da prilože
05:04
their writing, their photography, whatever,
98
288832
2105
svoje tekstove, fotografije, bilo što,
05:06
to be a member of our staff.
99
290952
1651
da bi postali članovi osoblja.
05:08
I got about 3,000 emails.
100
292603
2924
Dobila sam oko 3 000 mailova.
05:11
My editorial director and I went through them and
101
295527
2672
Moj urednik i ja smo prošli kroz njih i
05:14
put together a staff of people,
102
298199
3003
skupili osoblje,
05:17
and we launched last September.
103
301202
2600
i pokrenuli smo se prošlog rujna.
05:19
And this is an excerpt from my first editor's letter,
104
303802
2355
I ovo je izvod iz mog prvog uvodničkog pisma,
05:22
where I say that Rookie, we don't have all the answers,
105
306157
3354
gdje kažem kako na Rookiju nemamo sve odgovore,
05:25
we're still figuring it out too, but the point is not to
106
309511
2729
da i mi još shvaćamo, ali bit nije u tome
05:28
give girls the answers, and not even give them permission
107
312240
3959
da djevojkama damo odgovore, ni da im damo dopuštenje
05:32
to find the answers themselves,
108
316199
2574
da ih nađu same,
05:34
but hopefully inspire them to understand that
109
318773
2168
već da shvate kako si
05:36
they can give themselves that permission,
110
320941
1723
same mogu dati to dopuštenje,
05:38
they can ask their own questions, find their own answers,
111
322664
2884
da mogu pitati vlastita pitanja,
05:41
all of that, and Rookie, I think we've been trying to make it
112
325548
2751
naći svoje odgovore, sve to, a Rookie, mislim mi smo se trudili
05:44
a nice place for all of that to be figured out.
113
328299
5343
stvoriti lijepo mjesto gdje bi se sve to moglo shvatiti.
05:49
So I'm not saying, "Be like us,"
114
333642
1935
I zato ne kažem, „Budite kao mi,“
05:51
and "We're perfect role models," because we're not,
115
335577
2368
i „Mi smo savršeni uzori“, jer nismo,
05:53
but we just want to help represent girls
116
337945
5112
ali samo želimo pomoći predstavljanju djevojaka
05:58
in a way that shows those different dimensions.
117
343057
3021
na način koji pokazuje te različite dimenzije.
06:01
I mean, we have articles called
118
346078
3794
Mislim, imamo članak s naslovom
06:05
"On Taking Yourself Seriously: How to Not Care What People Think of You,"
119
349872
3182
„O shvaćanju sebe ozbiljno: Kako da vam ne bude stalo do toga što drugi misle o vama“,
06:08
but we also have articles like,
120
353054
1967
ali imamo i članke kao,
06:10
oops -- I'm figuring it out!
121
355021
3961
ups, još shvaćam!
06:14
Ha ha. (Laughter)
122
358982
2526
Ha ha. (Smijeh)
06:17
If you use that, you can get away with anything.
123
361508
3798
Ako to koristiš, možeš se izvući iz svega.
06:21
We also have articles called
124
365306
1191
Također imamo članke kao što je
06:22
"How to Look Like You Weren't Just Crying in Less than Five Minutes."
125
366497
3506
„Kako izgledati kao da nisi plakala prije manje od pet minuta“.
06:25
So all of that being said, I still really appreciate
126
370003
3033
Kada je sve rečeno, zaista cijenim
06:28
those characters in movies and
127
373036
3967
one likove u filmovima i
06:32
articles like that on our site,
128
377003
1813
člancima kao što su oni na našem siteu,
06:34
that aren't just about being totally powerful,
129
378816
3243
oni nisu samo moćni,
06:37
maybe finding your acceptance with yourself
130
382059
3050
možda pronalazeći prihvaćanje same sebe
06:41
and self-esteem and your flaws and how you accept those.
131
385109
5559
i samopouzdanja i svojih mana te kako njih prihvaćaš.
06:46
So what I you to take away from my talk,
132
390668
3618
Ono što želim da ponesete od ovog govora,
06:50
the lesson of all of this, is to just be Stevie Nicks.
133
394286
4222
naučeno od svega ovoga jest samo biti Stevie Nicks.
06:54
Like, that's all you have to do. (Laughter)
134
398508
3374
To je sve što morate učiniti. (Smijeh)
06:57
Because my favorite thing about her,
135
401882
2879
Jer je moja omiljena stvar kod nje,
07:00
other than, like, everything, is that
136
404761
3060
osim svega, jest to
07:03
she is very -- has always been
137
407821
2408
da je vrlo – uvijek bila
07:06
unapologetically present on stage,
138
410229
2905
nepokorno prisutna na pozornici,
07:09
and unapologetic about her flaws
139
413134
2807
nepokorna u svojim manama
07:11
and about reconciling all of her contradictory feelings
140
415941
4138
i pomirena sa svojim kontradiktornim osjećajima
07:15
and she makes you listen to them and think about them,
141
420079
3592
