Using readings drawn from queer theory and film criticism, we will examine significant queer auteurs and queer media practices, from activist videos to the New Queer Cinema movement to YouTube mashups.

Prerequisites: Completion of the WEC and WID requirements; and completion of two 200-level WGS courses, or two 300-level COM courses, or one 200-level WGS course and one 300-level COM course; and junior or senior status; OR permission of the instructor. Spring semester, alternate years. San Filippo.
