0 likes•299 views
This document introduces the sixth module which will explore how discussions of mixed race/ethnicity complicate the construction of Latinidad. It highlights two case studies - Maria Elena Cepeda's work on Colombian pop star Shakira and Isabel Molina-Guzman's work on actress Zoe Saldana. It discusses why the study of mixed race/ethnicity has become important in understanding Latinidad. Mixed race individuals like Obama and Saldana challenge rigid racial categorizations and force acknowledgment of racial mixture. The case studies will analyze how Shakira shapes notions of Colombian and Latin identity, and how Saldana navigates fluid black Latinx identity in the restrictive US racial system.

Week 7: Race and Ethnicity
This document discusses key concepts related to race and ethnicity. It defines race as a socially constructed category based on perceived biological characteristics. While race has no biological basis, it is a meaningful social reality with real social consequences. Racial categories are fluid and have changed over time based on social and political factors. Ethnicity refers to cultural characteristics and identities can shift based on one's social context. Minority groups experience unequal treatment and discrimination, both overt and institutional, while maintaining in-group solidarity. Interracial relationships challenge social norms of endogamy. Sociological perspectives view the social functions and dysfunctions of racial hierarchies as well as how conflict and competition between racial groups develop.
The God of Small Things Presentation
The document provides an overview of the novel The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy. It discusses how the novel critiques British colonialism in India by emphasizing indigenous Indian cultures and histories. It also explores how colonialism impacted the environment and examines themes of how love relationships are regulated by social and political forces, and how personal lives are shaped by intersecting social, political, and religious structures. The document then splits a class into groups to discuss questions related to environmental colonization, love relationships and family influence, and political and social structures as depicted in the novel.
AS Media Lesson 2 - Representation, gender and stereotypes
This document discusses gender stereotypes and representation. It defines the differences between sex and gender, noting that gender refers to socially constructed roles rather than biological factors. It provides examples of how toys, clothes, and magazines typically portray narrow gender stereotypes, showing girls in domestic or beauty-focused roles and boys as strong and independent. The document suggests these stereotypes are reinforced across media and outlines some common traits stereotypically associated with representations of masculinity and femininity.
AS Lesson 2 gender and stereotypes
The document discusses gender stereotypes and how they are portrayed in media. It explains that from a young age, children learn stereotypical behaviors for their gender from various sources like family and media. Traditionally, girls are encouraged to play with dolls while boys play with toys like guns or cars. These stereotypes shape distinct gender codes over time. The document then analyzes how older media often portrayed masculinity as superior and showed men in more powerful roles while women were usually depicted as housewives or sex objects. However, more modern representations have challenged these traditions as gender roles became less defined following feminist movements starting in the 1960s.
Part 1 b (2020)
The document discusses racial formation and the social construction of race in the United States. It explains that race was historically used to justify the domination and subordination of groups like African Americans and exclude them from rights like voting through the concept of white superiority. The document also discusses related concepts like ethnicity, racism, white privilege, and how government agencies define and measure race.
What is Representation?
Representation is how groups are portrayed in media using stereotypes. Stereotypes are commonly used to represent people based on their age, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, class and ability. Negative stereotypes are often used and include portraying teenagers as anti-social, the elderly as helpless, women as dependent, minorities as criminals or exotic, and the disabled as victims. Positive representation in media can challenge stereotypes and show groups in a more realistic light.
Negatives Evaluation
The document compares and contrasts characters and elements from the films Se7en and Gone Girl. It notes that two innocent characters from each film are teenage girls of the same ethnicity, wearing similar casual clothing. However, one character is English/American while the other is from a different culture, and one is aware of her impending misfortune while the other is unaware. Additionally, the document compares the disclosure of identities and use of close-up shots of hands between the main characters in each film, though they differ in gender and the films differ in genre and the lighting of opening sequences.

African American Women: In Film and Music
This document summarizes a presentation about the representation of African American women in film and music. It discusses common stereotypes of black women in these industries, such as the "mammy" or comedic roles. The history of roles for black actresses is explored over time. Challenges for black women in breaking into mainstream music are also examined. Female rappers in the 1990s worked to reclaim their femininity and sexuality through their music in defiance of repression. Today's black artists still struggle with controlling their own image and being seen as more than just sex symbols.
Part ii understanding racism, sexism, heterosexism, and class privilege
This document defines and discusses various forms of oppression including racism, sexism, heterosexism, ableism, and class privilege. It addresses how racism can be active or passive and manifests individually through prejudice or culturally. It also discusses structural and institutional racism. Color-blind racism strategies like abstract liberalism, naturalization, and biologization of culture are explained. The document also covers internalized oppression, stereotypes, heterosexism, sexism, and how homophobia functions as a weapon to maintain sexism and gender roles.
Examining Rosa's Refusal (to sit down) and the Montgomery Bus Boycott Through...
Presentation for the annual meeting of the North Carolina Council for the Social Studies. Using Kohl's critiques of the "Rosa the tired" narrative commonly found in textbooks and children's books, we performed a content analysis of recent (2001-2013) trade books that focus on Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Our findings indicate this powerful civil rights narrative has improved yet remains inaccurate. We combine our findings with suggested primary sources that help students and teachers work to "uncover" narratives by authenticating children's books through VanSledright's "Source Work".
MMP 2
This document summarizes the presentation "African American Women: In Film and Music" which discusses the representation and stereotypes of black women in these mediums.

The presentation then explores the history of stereotypical film roles for black women from the 1930s to today, as well as common stereotypes of black female rappers and artists. It also analyzes the impact of the media and argues that as feminist scholars bring more awareness, opportunities will improve for black women.
13 gender in a globalising world january 2014
This document discusses gender in a globalizing world and addresses several topics related to gender including sexual identities, masculinities and femininities, and the global gender order. It examines how sexual activity and identity are linked and explores how gender roles are socially constructed. It also analyzes how ideologies about gender on a global level can impact life chances and discusses concepts like patriarchy, hegemonic masculinity, and resistant femininities. The document provides historical context on attitudes toward sexuality and explores how homosexuality has become more normalized in some parts of the world through civil rights movements and legislative changes.
MMP Two
This document discusses representations of African American women in film and music. It explores common stereotypes they face such as the "mammy" or comedic roles. While some progress has been made with a few Black actresses and musicians winning awards, stereotypical portrayals remain common. Black feminist scholars are bringing these issues to light and advocating for more diverse, nuanced roles that are not overly sexualized. As social media empowers self-expression, the next generation may see improved portrayals and opportunities for Black women in these industries.
Multimedia Project 2

Intersectionality: What does it mean and how can we better engage with it?
The document discusses intersectionality and how considering multiple social factors provides a more nuanced understanding of vulnerability to climate change impacts than only looking at gender. It provides examples from various contexts of how gender intersects with other attributes like class, caste, ethnicity, age, and location to differently structure vulnerabilities for different groups of women. The document advocates applying an intersectional lens in research to more accurately diagnose problems and design effective solutions by collecting disaggregated data and critically examining how social power relations construct and manifest in various categories and institutions.
Lecture 4 culture and diversity culture and gender differences lecture 4
The document discusses gender and cultural differences in children's development and interactions. It explores how girls and boys interact differently, with girls interacting in a more caring way while boys are more competitive. The differences may result from family values and cultural beliefs. Understanding these differences can help teachers be more effective in reaching all students. The document also examines social beliefs and stereotypes about gender differences in areas like skills, behaviors, and expectations. Various theories are presented to explain gender typing and the development of gender roles based on biological and social influences.
Gender intersectionality collins
This document summarizes key aspects of intersectionality theory as developed by Patricia Hill Collins. It discusses how intersectionality examines how gender, race, class, and sexuality intersect and interact to create social inequalities. It focuses on Collins' work developing black feminist thought, which centers the experiences of black women and validates their distinct forms of knowledge production. Collins argues inequality results from the intersecting forces within the matrix of domination, and examines oppression on individual, group, and institutional levels.
Language and social class
This document discusses language and social class. It examines accents, dialects, and how factors like education, income, occupation and wealth determine social class. It describes William Labov's study of pronunciation of /r/ in department stores of different social classes. Labov found higher rates of /r/ pronunciation among upper-class customers and salespeople compared to middle and lower classes. The document concludes that language variation often reflects a speaker's social class, with lower classes using non-standard dialects and upper classes using standard dialects.
Intersectional theory
Intersectionality recognizes that identities like race, class, gender, sexuality, and ability intersect and overlap. In the 1960s-70s, social movements focused on single identities, but women of color experienced multiple, intersecting forms of oppression. Intersectionality emerged to address how gender intersects with other identities and how women of different races experience gendered oppression uniquely. It provides a framework for understanding complex, overlapping systems of social injustice.

The document discusses subcultural theory and its view of crime and deviance. It introduces key concepts such as subcultures and oppositional subcultures. It summarizes the work of David Downes who studied youths in East London in 1966 and found evidence of a subculture where boredom and lack of responsibilities led youths to drift into conflict with the law for fun. The document also mentions preparing a poster and glossary to explain the work of various sociologists on subcultural theory.
Media powerpoint
The document discusses stereotypical portrayals of different groups in media based on age, region, race, class, gender, and sexuality. Youth are seen as troublemaking but inexperienced. Professionals ages 25-40 have power while those of old age are out of touch. Regional and ethnic minority groups are often heavily stereotyped and portrayed as subservient or unable to advance. Upper classes associate only with their class while lower classes are seen as uneducated and violent. Women are often objectified or subservient to men. Homosexuals are portrayed as ultra-feminine/masculine with party lifestyles focused on sex, drugs and partying.

Questions are posed to facilitate discussion around feminist controversies and how conceptualizations of feminism have evolved over time.
NEW VISIONS OF RACE: Foregrounding African American Dramaturgy
ABSTRACT : This paper aims at examining the evolution of race relationship in the United States of
America, as is perceived in the plays under consideration. The paper is aimed at showing the relationship
between ethnicity and nation building, mindful of the fact that race, ethnicity and identity are concepts that
have been disconcerting the American society for a long time. Using African American criticism, and
psychoanalytic criticism, the paper portrays that ethnic groups are not stereotypes, but are dynamic and
progressive, and that there is no quintessential ethnic group. African Americans have realized that white
racists intentionally practice segregation so as to relegate them to the periphery. By so doing, they (whites) will
always control the American economy. Through this realization, most African Americans do not allow race to
become an issue to them, but have decided to concentrate on how to rebuild their self-worth and self-esteem, to
become economically feasible in the United States of America. Consequently, the playwrights of the plays
under study have proven that African American cultural heritage is part and parcel of the American culture,
and its value cannot be underestimated. The paper therefore reveals how through constant conflicts and the
consequences of such conflicts on the socio-economic and political atmosphere of the country, both whites and
blacks are coming to realize that it is not the colour of a person that counts, but the integral values the person
possesses.

This document discusses the experiences of queer women of color (QWOC) and their marginalization within both queer and racial communities. [1] QWOC faced exclusion within the white-dominated queer community and created their own spaces advocating for multi-issue politics addressing sexism, racism, homophobia and class exploitation. [2] In response, QWOC developed an intersectional framework recognizing how race, gender, class and other identities intersect. [3] Today, QWOC identities are still silenced but some resist erasure by navigating multiple political spaces and disrupting dominant discourses through their non-hegemonic identities.

However, she also acknowledges that whites have oppressed other races through events like slavery, colonialism and restricting rights of minorities and women. The essay reflects on white privilege today and the need for whites to recognize their role in oppression while also celebrating their own cultural heritage and working towards equality and understanding between all races.

This document provides an overview of key terms and history related to African Americans. It discusses the forced migration and enslavement of West Africans in America from 1600-1862. Following emancipation, legalized segregation and discrimination persisted until civil rights reforms in the 1950s-60s. The document also notes current disparities African American children face, such as higher rates of single parenthood and lower educational outcomes. It describes the importance of the black church community and degrees of cultural identification among African Americans.
Waves of feminism
This document discusses the history and evolution of feminism from the 1940s onwards. It begins by covering early feminist figures and works from the 1940s-1960s that challenged ideas of male chauvinism and the feminine mystique. The 1960s saw the rise of second-wave feminism in response to works like The Feminine Mystique and the establishment of groups like NOW. However, second-wave feminism has been criticized for primarily applying to white, middle-class women and ignoring issues of race and sexuality. More recent third-wave feminism seeks to be more inclusive of these intersecting identities and views gender as socially constructed.

The document discusses internalized racism and its implications for the development of young leaders of color. It summarizes a study on how black students and parents at predominantly white private schools experience subtle, cultural forms of racism. Internalized racism occurs when oppressed groups direct distress caused by racism towards themselves or their own community. The document recommends educating students on systemic racism and providing role models of color and white allies to help develop positive racial identities and mitigate internalized racism.477 final pres
The document discusses the intersection of punk music and feminism, focusing on women of color artists. It provides background on third-wave feminism and early punk bands that addressed issues of race. It then examines riot grrl groups and whether they were inclusive of women of color. It profiles some contemporary women of color artists in punk and rock and analyzes how they view themselves and their art in relation to feminism and race. Interviews with several women artists suggest they see their art as a form of organic, DIY feminism that focuses on direct action over identifying with structured communities.

The document summarizes a report from the Stanford Center on Poverty and Inequality. The report analyzes trends in poverty and inequality across seven domains: labor markets, poverty, safety net, income inequality, wealth inequality, health inequality, and education. It finds that for many indicators, the current year shows some of the worst levels of inequality over the past 13 years. In particular, for Black Americans, this was the worst, second, third, or fourth worst year across all indicator categories. The report concludes that race remains a powerful factor in inequality.

Mixed Race Latinidad
- 1. Latinxs and the Media Mixed Race/Ethnicity and Latinidad
- 2. Welcome to Module Six • In this module we will explore how discussions of mix race/ethnicity complicate the construction of Latinidad. Two scholars have done interesting case studies on these issues: – Maria Elena Cepeda’s work on Latin pop idol, Shakira. – Isabel Molina-Guzman’s work on Hollywood actress, Zoe Saldaña. • Let’s discuss each of them but first, let’s clarify some points about mix race/ethnicity studies.
- 3. Why study mixed race/ethnicity in the context of Latinidad? • Mixed race/ethnic studies is a fast-growing field and remarkeably varied in its methods, disciplines, and orientation. • Why the interest in this area of study increased? – The 2008 elections with Barak Obama as a presidential candidate. • Both his blackness and his first generation biracialism have prompted new consideration, within black communities and within the U.S. population in general. • It brings into perspective into discussion the operations and meanings of race, nation, family and community within the U.S.A. – Questions like "Is Obama black? Is he black enough? Is he too black?"
- 4. Why study mixed race/ethnicity in the context of Latinidad? (cont.) • But these discourses are not exclusive to national politics. The issue of mixed race/ethnicity has occupied an important space in popular media, especially within the Latinos and Media realm. – Why is it relevant to this course? • What becomes important is not how the actor self identifies, but how a mainstream audience would racialize them playing a given character. – What is evident is that these actors are: » not being racialized as white in most contexts » forced to fit into a highly structured and restrictive U.S. system of racialization » usually not represented as both Black and Latina/o, ruling out a construction of racial mixture or acknowledgment of mestizaje (notion of mixture based in Latin America).
- 5. Zoë Saldana: The Complicated Politics of Casting a Black Latina Isabel Molina-Guzmán / University of Illinois • Some of the author’s arguments are: – She departs from the debate: “Should Zoe Saldana Play Nina Simone? • There is a growing debate and online petitions over whether or not US-born black Latina Saldana should play the iconic African American singer, composer and Civil Rights Activist Nina Simone “As a US-born black Latina of Puerto Rican and Dominican descent, Saldana navigates an identity that is fluid, complicated and not connected to physical appearance: Saldana, like other black Latinos, is often asked to identify herself by a racial or ethnic label, sometimes being asked to choose between Hispanic roots and black heritage.”
- 6. Shakira as the Idealized Transnational Citizen: A Case Study of Colombianidad in Transition Maria Elena Cepeda • Some of the author’s arguments are: – Shakira’s music and public persona shape both in and out- group notions of what it means to be not only Latina, but also colombiana. • She assumes multiple subject positions – Lebanese–Colombian – Caribbean–Colombian – female – popular performer – recent US immigrant » How does the notion of Latinidad fit within this scenario?
- 7. Now proceed to the readings for this module: Enjoy!
