FLM 395Q QUEER AND TRANS FILM AND MEDIA
The course maps the theories and practices of queer and trans* media, familiarizing students with key texts, histories, and theoretical turns. It serves as an introduction to the media practices and theoretical/critical literature that have accompanied the evolution of queer and gender variant communities and politics, as well as the developments of queer and transgender studies. The course is interdisciplinary, with attention to cinema and other media, such as television, online videos, and video games, as both art and political discourse. Students will analyze the complex relationships between visibility/representation and historical erasure, spectators and texts, identities and politics, and activism and entertainment.
