GSST 020. Theory and Methodology Special Topics: Queer Media
The history of avant-garde and experimental media has been intertwined with that of gender non-conformity and sexual dissidence, and even the most mainstream media forms have been queered by sub-cultural reception. How do LGBT filmmakers “queer” sexual norms and standard media forms? How are sexual identities mediated by popular culture? Challenging classic Hollywood’s heterosexual presumption and mass media appropriations of LGBT culture, we will examine LGBT aesthetic strategies and modes of address in contexts such as the American and European avant-gardes, AIDS activism, and transnational and diasporan film through the lens of queer theory.
Prerequisite: GSST 001 or permission of instructor.
