LGBT 3153 - Queer Media
(CDIVERSITY)
This course explores the varied terrain of new media - including digital, print, and broadcast platforms - from a queer perspective, that asks, "How queer is it?" Using theoretical and representational strategies from queer studies, media studies, feminist analysis, literary analysis, and cinema studies, along with foundational critiques of issues related to class, race, gender, and sexuality, this course investigates techniques for 'reading for the queer' in contemporary media. Because the course focuses on academic analysis, it does not require students (or texts) to maintain a queer identity or to claim membership in an LGBTQ community.
prereq: WS 1000 or CST 2001
