WMGS 317 - Black Feminism & Popular Culture:The Quest for Power in Life and Art

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

This course explores popular fictional representations of black women's lives in television, music and film, as well as non-fictional narratives in the mainstream and alternative news media. Our objective is to find patterns and gaps in such representations, and to better understand the ways in which the actual, lived "realities" of black women's lives are either silenced, distorted, or perhaps, successfully honored in such cultural productions. Particularly strong emphasis will be placed on the project of bringing feminist thought and practice to newspaper and magazine journalism. 1.00 units, Lecture
