Thinking Critically About Pop Culture: Representations of Women and LGBT People

Quickwrite #4 Based on all of the readings we have done so far, do you think that the way the media and the entertainment industries represent (or fail to represent) minorities has real world consequences for real people in those groups? Why or why not? Feel free to respond to a specific quote from one of the readings if you would like.

Portrayals of Women and LGBT People in the Media What is the “larger conversation” that each of these authors is a part of? What are some of the assumptions that these authors respond to? What are some of the “big claims” that each of these authors makes? Identify one “big claim” and be ready to talk about it and your reaction to it. How do these authors support those claims? Was their support convincing? What were your reactions to these articles? Did you find places where you agreed? Disagreed? A little of both? Why?

Some Questions that Will Help You on Essay #1 As you analyze the pieces of media that you have chosen in order to support a claim you are making about pop culture and diversity, ask yourself: – What are the main values that are being put forward as “correct” or “normal” by this piece of media? Are these values particular to any one group? Are there any groups whose values/ideas are poorly or unfairly represented?

Some Questions that Will Help You on Essay #1 Do you notice any patterns in the representation of diverse groups in the media you chose, or patterns in the representation of the one minority group you chose? If so, what do you think those patterns mean? Why are they important? Is there anything missing from the portrayals you are researching? Is there anything complicated that is made simple? Any subtle differences that are glossed over? What are the consequences of this over-simplification?

Tentative Topics for Essay 1 Based on our brainstorming, spend the rest of the class narrowing your topic. Be ready to tell me what your tentative topic is for essay 1. Give me as much detail as you can about the question you will be exploring. (You should go into all of our essays with a question you are researching/exploring, not a topic upon which you have already completely made up your mind.)
