Description:

This course looks at theories and instances of gender differences as they are articulated in mass-mediated popular culture discourses. The focus is primarily on genres of popular culture that are targeted to particular genders: romance novels, soap operas, and melodrama will be contrasted with sports, film noir, and action films. Beginning with early feminist theories of representation, the course will follow theoretical developments that include race, sexual representation, and masculinity, and will be especially concerned with theories of spectatorship and the gaze.
