Cinema and Sexualities (P3057)

30 credits, Level 6

Spring teaching

This module centres on the critical study of sexualities and how they are represented in a range of film texts. Through screenings, lectures, seminars and self-directed study, you will be introduced to the various ways in which sexualities have been both theorised and represented in a range of film texts.

Debates considered in the module may include:

• the politics of sexual identification
• the idea of sexual ‘perversity’
• sexual stereotyping (especially of lesbians and gays)
• and the critical concept of ‘queer’ in theory
• identity politics and cinematic genre (queer cinema).
