Section Title:
Sexuality and Cinema
Section Info:
Sexuality and Cinema in the U.S. This course explores how sexuality and cinema have been intertwined in the U.S. from the late nineteenth century to the present, not only through the erotics of the on-screen image, but also through the politics of sexuality in the production and reception of films. Through theoretical and historical readings, we will consider a range of topics, including theories of spectatorship, psychoanalytic models of desire and fantasy, censorship, intersectional approaches to race and sexuality, the history of lesbian/gay rights movements, the politics of pornography, and queer approaches to cinema, among others. Weekly screenings will include films from a range of historical periods, genres, and production context.
