LGBT 180M: (IS) Special Topics: How Gay Is That?Semester Hours: 3
The way in which a media event can be perceived as gay depends as much on who is viewing it as on what it contains, what group it targets, and what format it uses. The elements of “gayness” that can be layered onto a media image or graphic advance as many questions as the number of types of spectators that view it. Using what we know about the gay experience, gay history, gay iconography, gay imagery, and the contemporary discourse on gay issues, this course proposes to analyze what is gay in these media events and how they use what is thought to be “gay elements” to deliver their message. In the process of examining the “degrees of gayness” of the design, we can assess our understanding of how individuals, LGBT and others, might ‘read’ or perceive the images.
