WS 382 - Gender and Media in the Global South (3 Cr.)
This course explores the complex relationships among media images, cultural values, and development of gendered identities in the global south. We will examine media—both visual and print—in their various representations. We will look at the transformation of women on the screen and the empowerment of women both in front of and behind the camera. Film screenings, readings, and discussions by female directors will address the contemporary sites of dynamic tensions between the local and the global and the religious and the secular; the public sphere; the role of broadcast media, the Internet (cyber-Islam galaxy); and the exposure to information and ideas that challenge norms. Prerequisite: WS 282 or COM 257 . Fall semester. Offered 2012-13. François.
