Screening Prompts: Vid Screening

What modes of masculinity and femininity do we see represented in vids? How do these vids make meaning out of their combinations of source texts? Do they transform or reinforce the gender representations on offer in their source texts? How might we understand these vids as the product of negotatiated viewing? How might we understand these vids as manifesting the power of identification (as discussed by Stacey)? How do these vids offer queer readings or negotiatiate between heteronormative and queer readings?

I’d recommend that if you choose to write your 1 page paper on vids, you choose one or two and perform a sustained analysis, rather than trying to talk about them all en masse.
