Zusammenfassung	Feminist content analysis is a method for systematically examining texts, media, and documents to reveal how gender is represented, constructed, and reproduced, interpreting those patterns through feminist theory and an explicit concern with power. It adapts the established techniques of content analysis — corpus definition, coding, and counting — but reorients them toward questions of how women, men, and gender relations are portrayed, whose voices are centered or silenced, and how representations sustain or contest gender inequality.	Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is a qualitative method that examines how language in texts and talk constructs, sustains, and challenges relations of power, ideology, and social inequality. Drawing on linguistics, social theory, and critical philosophy, CDA treats discourse not merely as communication but as social practice — a site where dominance is reproduced and where resistance can be articulated. Developed in the late twentieth century by Norman Fairclough, Teun van Dijk, and Ruth Wodak, among others, CDA is applied to political speeches, media texts, policy documents, educational materials, and institutional interactions.
