This course examines representations of queerness (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender identity) in cinema, from its silent origins up until today. The class focuses on the precarious place queer characters have occupied throughout the history of classical Hollywood cinema, the various "types" and stereotypesHollywood has created in the public's imaginary, as well as the narratives these early characters found themselves trapped within. The class also examines post gay liberation attempts by queer filmmakers to counter previous distortions and reinvent the presence of queer characters on the screen. The course concludes by reflecting on the current state of queer cinema, with viewing of contemporary US and foreign examples. Throughout, students reflect upon the political implications, psychological effects and philosophical-aesthetic questions raised by these images. Debates around the advantages of visibility versus invisibility, "positive" versus "negative" portrayals, and the relationship of this to tconstruction of heterosexual identity in culture and cinema is explored. How far have we really progressed What trace of these stereotypes remain with us today FINE ARTS DOMAIN

3.00 Credits
This course examines the politics and pleasures of cinema, both traditional and experimental, both the products of Hollywood and "foreign" cinema. Through lecture, viewings and dialogue, students examine film as a socio-political apparatus, and the ways in which it not merely reflects but constructs and at times limits our identities. Using a historical approach, the class focuses on representations of "otherness" in the mainstream Hollywood vernacular, specifically through the lens of race, gender and sexual identity. Specific attention is given not only to the coercive nature of these images, but also to the ways in which politics interacts with desire in cinema, ideology inevitably unravels and undermines itself, giving way to something resembling pleasure. Finally, the class examines instances of global cinema with excerpts from radical attempts to create new modes of cinema and new forms of seeing. . FINE ARTS & HUMANITIES DOMAIN
