CULT 446 Gender and Media Select Term:
Media in all its forms – print, Internet, television, music, etc. – are a major force in creating and inventing reality for the world. This course addresses how our ideas about sex and our identities as men, women, and sexual beings are constructed, contested and subverted in different sites within media culture. It explores the complex relationships between media texts, their production as well as consumption. In addition to engaging with various theoretical perspectives, it also aims to acquire students with a working knowledge of critical viewing and deconstruction methodologies by participating in small teams which focus on different media genres (these might include children’s cartoons, the soap opera, music video, talk shows, etc.)
