      Course Objectives This course conceptualizes gender as a category of knowledge and aims to understand how gender is constructed by the media. We will consider gender as a constitutive element of identity and by analyzing its intersection with other categories such as race, class, nation and sexuality, we will grasp the importance of the representation of gender in media and its meaning for our lives. The course consists of lectures, screenings and discussions revolving around critical analysis of and engagement with contemporary examples of film, television, adverts and new media.
      Learning Outcomes

      The students who succeeded in this course;

      • Differentiate between sex and gender
      • Critically explain why gender is a social construct
      • Compare the different waves of feminism and their focus
      • Evaluate the evolution of media with regards to how gender has been constructed and performed across a range of moving image forms and genres
      • Demonstrate an understanding of the constructions of sexuality, gender, race, ethnicity and nation in the media.
      • Gain familiarity of the construction of gender in the media in the present day, with a focus on a variety of different cultures and media across the world
      Course Description his course examines various images and representations of gender in media paying particular attention to contemporary discussions. Employing theories from cultural studies, media, film, reception and gender studies, it explores different processes and practices of gender, specifically in terms of media representations of femininity, masculinity and queerness. The media plays a major role in "constructing" gender, and “popular” views of what appropriate gendering is, in turn, shape how we communicate with each other. Participation (20%) – You should come to class prepared to ask questions and ready to make lively, insightful, substantive and respectful contributions to our discussion of the course materials. Written Assignment (20%): These assignments require the students to select a theme we have covered in the class and conduct a detailed analysis of how that example reflects the context in which it was produced/distributed/exhibited.
