| Description: How is pop culture a site of social struggle? This course engages students in the scholarly field of feminist media studies in order to illuminate how popular culture indexes complex political terrains. With attention to intersections of gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, ability and disability, we will analyze representation across wide-ranging media forms. What can feminist theory tell us about media's production and reception? What can media theory tell us about feminist discourses, movements, and activism? Throughout, students will assess their own roles as consumers and producers of media and also as critical thinkers navigating shifting political landscapes and mediated environments. |
