This document summarizes and discusses the emergence of Lesbian Studies as an academic discipline. It provides an overview of key publications and anthologies on Filipino LGBT topics. It also discusses the development of Lesbian Studies programs in various universities internationally and debates whether they should be separate programs or integrated into existing Women's Studies programs. The document examines the historical roots of Lesbian Studies and advocates for further institutionalization of the field through student activism.
This document summarizes a research paper about portrayals of lesbians in mainstream media. It discusses Ellen DeGeneres, the TV show The L Word, and the musical duo Tegan and Sara. While these portrayals have brought lesbian issues to mainstream audiences, they also project heteronormative ideals and stereotypes onto lesbians. For example, Ellen fits a "butch" stereotype while her wife Portia fits a "femme" role. The L Word over-sexualizes relationships and reinforces gender binaries. Overall, while media representations have increased visibility, they also objectify lesbians and impose heteronormative standards.
This document discusses the history of lesbianism in the United States from the 18th century to the early 20th century. It notes that there were few well documented cases of lesbianism before the 20th century due to a societal silence around the topic. However, it did exist through different arrangements than today, such as romantic friendships between women. The document also discusses how societal views changed over time, from seeing close female friendships as emotionally supportive to viewing them with more suspicion in the late 19th/early 20th century. It provides some examples of notable lesbians like Gertrude Stein and discusses challenges like feminists distancing from women dressing as men to avoid oppression.
The document discusses media representations of sexuality in Britain, noting that they are overwhelmingly heterosexual. It argues that the media participates in symbolically annihilating homosexuals and lesbians through negative stereotyping, rarely portraying them realistically or at all. When homosexual characters are portrayed, they are often stereotyped as camp, macho, deviant, or responsible for AIDS, reinforcing negative views of gay sexuality. However, representation of LGBT people is slowly improving as societal tolerance grows.
This document analyzes representations of sexuality in TV dramas. It begins by distinguishing between gender and sexuality, noting that sexuality includes heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality, and metrosexuality. It then defines gender and sexuality. The document examines how homosexuality has become a more prominent representation in recent TV dramas, though gay and lesbian characters are often marginalized. It also notes that media representations sometimes rely on stereotypes like feminine gay men and masculine lesbians, but representations are becoming more varied. Finally, it analyzes several common stereotypical sexual identities portrayed in TV shows, such as the feminine gay man, metrosexual man, repressed homosexual, and masculine/feminine lesbians.
Judith Butler is an influential philosopher who argues that gender is performative and constructed through repetitive acts rather than determined by sex. Traditional media often portray women in stereotypical gender roles, but more modern portrayals show greater independence. The document discusses analyzing the TV show Downton Abbey, which portrayed historical gender inequality, and contrasts it with the female-led film Sket, representing modern freedom and less domination by men. It notes how the coursework trailer aims to present female characters in a stereotypically masculine way through their behavior and dress to convey dominance, unlike typical teenage girl portrayals.
This document discusses stereotypes related to sexuality. It notes that heterosexual males are often stereotyped as tough and dominant leaders, while heterosexual women are seen as weak, feminine, and subordinate. Homosexual males are commonly stereotyped as camp, feminine, and promiscuous. Lesbian women are often portrayed as butch, feminist, and disliking men. The document then analyzes examples of characters from TV shows to examine whether they conform to or defy these stereotypes, such as Kurt Hummel from Glee conforming and Thomas Barrow from Downton Abbey defying stereotypes of gay men. Shane McCcutcheon from The L Word is seen to conform to stereotypes of lesbian women,

The document discusses stereotypical portrayals of African Americans in media such as television, news broadcasts, and music videos. It notes that African American men are often depicted as athletes, musicians, criminals or unemployed, while women are shown as the "Mammy", "Jezebel", or "Sapphire" stereotypes. The document also examines how the overrepresentation of black criminals on news can prime viewers to associate African Americans with crime and how negative portrayals may impact the perceptions and ambitions of young black people. It suggests increasing representation of African Americans in creative and decision-making media roles to help improve these images over time.
The document describes various characters at a predominantly white institution (PWI) dealing with racial issues and identity. It discusses Sam White, the biracial leader of the Black Student Union who contemplates her blackness and whiteness. It also mentions Lionel, a gay black man who doesn't fit stereotypes, and Kurt, a white fraternity president who believes we live in a post-racial society. Other characters discussed include Gabe, a white film TA who questions racial divides, Troy, a biracial student running for office, and Coco, a black woman who struggles with media stereotypes of black women.
The document discusses representation of sexuality in media. It outlines common representations of heterosexual women and men, homosexual women and men, and transgender individuals. These representations include monogamous, promiscuous, embarrassed or in the closet. It notes that sexuality is often expressed through gender expression and physical attributes. The document advises analyzing how a character's gender and sexuality are constructed and whether the representation is positive, negative, or stereotypical.
The document discusses representation of women in the music industry. It notes that women are often hyper-sexualized to help sell music. This can negatively impact youth by influencing ideas about body image and sexuality. While some artists embrace their sexuality, others feel pressure to do so. The document examines how different artists present themselves, from highly sexualized performers to those who find success without relying on sexuality.
Ta-Nehisi Coates struggles with finding his own identity in Between the World and Me, as he has to deal with stereotypes assigned to African Americans. He writes a letter to his son to help him navigate this challenge, while Coates is still struggling with it himself. In the Black Panther comic, T'Challa also struggles with his identity as both the Black Panther and King of Wakanda. He wants to protect his people but neglects his duties as king. Both works examine the difficulties their protagonists face in discovering their own identities within the contexts of society and history.
“Little Englander” – Fawlty Towers A Textual Analysis of Nationalistic Ideolo...Jaskirt Boora
This document provides a summary and analysis of the 1970s British sitcom Fawlty Towers. It analyzes how the show represented notions of British national identity and community through the character of Basil Fawlty. Basil runs a small hotel in Torquay as a "mini-construction of Britain" with a narrow view of who belongs. He holds nationalist, classist views and believes firmly in traditions of the British Empire. His rigid ideology of who belongs causes constant conflict and prevents the hotel from being a harmonious community that accepts differences. The analysis suggests Basil's views represent a nostalgia for a lost imperial Britain and conceptions of national identity that exclude many people.
This document discusses sexism in language. It defines sexism as negative or discriminatory attitudes towards people based on gender, most commonly involving males and females. There are two main forms - hostile sexism, which is overt in words and actions, and benevolent sexism, which portrays women as needing protection. Examples given include the generic use of "he" instead of gender-neutral alternatives, and asymmetrical word pairs like "bachelor" versus the more negative "spinster". A study found that both male and female students tended to associate gender-neutral terms with male images around 58-59% of the time. The implications are that language both reflects and helps spread sexist attitudes, putting an additional
Despite increasing acceptance of different sexualities, TV often depicts heterosexuality as the norm and homosexuality as different or strange. Gay characters tend to be marginalized and their storylines frequently revolve around their sexuality rather than allowing them to be multifaceted characters. Common stereotypes in TV include the flamboyant gay man, butch lesbian, and feminine lesbian. Proper analysis requires considering how a character's depicted gender and sexuality interact and the implicit messages around normalcy and power.
This document discusses the representation of sexuality in television drama. It outlines several common stereotypes seen in portrayals of gay, lesbian, and other non-heterosexual identities, such as the feminine gay man, the closeted gay man, and the lesbian with masculine traits. It also notes that media often rely on stereotypes that associate gay men with femininity and lesbians with masculinity. However, the document states that representation has begun to shift with increased gay rights and acceptance, allowing for more diverse portrayals.
This document discusses the pronouns of address "T" and "V" and how their usage varies across languages and cultures based on dimensions of power and solidarity. It analyzes how these pronouns are used to reflect social hierarchies and relationships. Specifically:
1) Historically, "T" was used informally while "V" was formal, with "T" denoting solidarity between equals and "V" showing deference to superiors.
2) Surveys found patterns like using "T" with family but "V" with teachers/bosses, and these norms communicate social status and power dynamics.
3) The choice of pronoun can also express transient attitudes beyond social norms, like contempt
Stereotypes of black women that originated during slavery still persist today and perpetuate harmful narratives. The "Mammy" depicts black women as obedient servants, the "Sapphire" portrays them as angry and emasculating, and the "Jezebel" presents them as hypersexual. These stereotypes justified the oppression of black women and ignore diversity within the community. They shift blame for inequality away from flawed institutions and onto individuals. While some media aims to celebrate diversity, it also perpetuates stereotypes for profit. Overcoming deeply entrenched stereotypes requires recognizing how they damage black women and reinforce systems of racism and sexism.
Sexual orientation refers to emotional, romantic, and/or sexual attractions to men, women, both genders, neither gender, or another gender. Common stereotypes about homosexuals, bisexuals, and heterosexuals include the notions that gay men will die of AIDS, are feminine, bisexuals are confused or promiscuous, and heterosexuals will always be monogamous and have children. Historically, homosexuality was widely stigmatized and illegal until recent decades, and stereotypes portrayed gay men as predators. While stereotypes simplify perceptions for media, they often provide an inaccurate view of people's sexuality.
This document discusses the representation of different sexualities in television drama. It begins by defining terms like homosexual, heterosexual, and bisexual. Despite increasing acceptance of diversity, TV often depicts heterosexuality as the norm and portrays gay characters as different or marginalized. Common stereotypes of heterosexual women, men, and homosexual women and men are described. The document urges consideration of how gender and sexuality intersect and are expressed visually. While representation has improved, gay and lesbian characters still tend to be supporting roles with limited growth. Examples from shows are discussed to illustrate both stereotypical and progressive portrayals.
Sex and the City was a groundbreaking television show that had a significant impact on women and discussions around female sexuality and relationships. It normalized topics that were rarely discussed such as female friendships, vibrators, breastfeeding, and aging. The show celebrated women's lives and experiences in a way that had not been seen before. Favorite episodes included one where a character discusses being proud at age 45 and another where the main character's shoes get stolen and she expresses pride in being single.
The document discusses themes in the film City of God, including poverty, wealth, gangs, conflict, hope, hopelessness, loyalty, and family/friendship. It asks how the director communicates ideological messages about these themes through narrative events and film techniques. An example is given about how hopelessness is portrayed through the lack of structure and role models in the lives of the young characters, trapping them in a cycle of violence with no hope of escape. Theme statements from the board are also presented without choosing any specifically.
City of God (2002) depicts the urban poverty, violence, and social issues within the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil between 1960-1980. The film shows how poverty and lack of opportunities lead some characters to turn to crime and join violent drug gangs that battle each other for power and control over the favelas. Conflict is ever-present as gang wars and random violence erupt throughout the community.
This document summarizes and analyzes several theories related to representations in media:
- Van Zoonen's theory discusses how media portrays gender stereotypes that reinforce societal views of femininity and masculinity.
- Gilroy's post-colonialist theory examines how ethnic minorities are often depicted as powerless and marginalized compared to depictions of white Westerners as powerful and important.
- An example news article is analyzed applying Gilroy's theory, finding depictions that portray white politicians as having power over ethnic minorities.
The document discusses the connections between the LGBT community and the musical theatre world. It explores habits and personalities within the theatre community and provides personal reflections.

Additional details provided include the author of the book series it is based on, the director of the television show, some notable guest characters, and why the document's author recommends the show.
This document discusses gender roles, equality, and interventions to address the gender divide. It makes three key points:
1. Gender roles are socially constructed ideas about how men and women should act and vary across cultures, though gender equality means equal rights, access to resources, and voice for both men and women.
2. Historically, the dawn of civilization brought concepts like private property, agriculture, and organized family systems that led to gender inequality, discrimination, and bias against women in many ancient societies and cultures.
3. Bridging the gender divide requires efforts from multiple parties like education, media, society, and policy to promote sensitization, remove male domination, support women's participation and networking, and ensure
The document provides an outline for a basic English conversation class covering the following topics:
1) Listening to a song and identifying words
2) Practicing distinguishing between similar sounding words ("minimal pairs")

This document discusses using OpenStack to build a private cloud infrastructure for enterprise use. It argues that OpenStack is the best choice because it is open source, actively developed by a large community, and has a simple architecture. The company implemented OpenStack using existing server hardware and customized it to integrate internal development platforms and workflows. This improved resource utilization, development efficiency, and enabled new services like a cloud-based file sharing system. The private cloud deployment increased server utilization within the company from 10% to 60% and helped reuse older hardware.
The document provides lesson material on analyzing action adventure films for an exam. It includes reminders of key terminology, sample exam questions, planning templates for questions, and sample student responses.

Examples from Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life are provided, along with guidance on writing a high-scoring response.
The document discusses Pearson's correlation coefficient (r), which measures the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two numeric variables. It explains that r gets stronger as the data points cluster more tightly around a straight line, and weaker if they resemble a circle. Positive correlations indicate variables increase together, while negative correlations mean one increases as the other decreases. However, correlation does not necessarily imply causation. The document cautions that categorical variables like gender cannot be correlated since r requires two numeric variables.
This document provides an overview of software testing concepts and best practices. It discusses the differences between checking, verification, and validation versus exploration, discovery, investigation, and learning when it comes to testing. The benefits of unit testing, integration testing, and continuous integration are outlined. Best practices around mock objects, stubs, test coverage, and test-driven development are also covered. The document emphasizes that the goal of testing should be to write faster and better code, and to prioritize business requirements when deciding what to test.
This document provides guidance on key design elements for magazine front covers, including the masthead, subheadings, fonts, color scheme, and features. Effective magazine covers attract readers with an engaging central image or "star" and utilize consistent branding elements like fonts and colors to create a recognizable identity. The layout and relative sizes of visual elements direct reader attention to priority information.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise has also been shown to boost self-esteem and can serve as a healthy way to manage stress.
The document summarizes the source code structure and architecture of OpenStack's Nova compute service. It describes the file structure and main components, using diagrams to illustrate how components like the compute API, network API, and scheduler interact.

ग्रेटर मुंबई के नगर आयुक्त को एक खुले पत्र में याचिका दायर कर 540 से अधिक मुंबईकरों ने सभी अवैध और अस्थिर होर्डिंग्स, साइनबोर्ड और इलेक्ट्रिक साइनेज को तत्काल हटाने और 13 मई, 2024 की शाम को घाटकोपर में अवैध होर्डिंग के गिरने की विनाशकारी घटना के बाद अपराधियों के खिलाफ सख्त कार्रवाई की मांग की है, जिसमें 17 लोगों की जान चली गई और कई निर्दोष लोग गंभीर रूप से घायल हो गए।
Recent years have seen a disturbing rise in violence, discrimination, and intolerance against Christian communities in various Islamic countries.

7. Exploration of Rich
• Feminist theory can no longer tolerate 'lesbianism' as
an 'alternative lifestyle'
• Failure to acknowledge restrictive societal forces
• Heterosexuality doesn't require an
explanation, whereas lesbian sexuality does
8. What does this mean?
◦ Heterosexuality was constructed over the course of
history by men who held economic and political power
◦ heterosexuality not a preference, but compulsory
◦ Heterosexuality as political institution
◦ not something natural
◦ Broader definition of Lesbian existence and
continuum
◦ include various woman-identified experiences and
acknowledge lesbians’ historical presence
◦ embrace different forms of relations between women
9. Exploration of Lorde
◦ Being Black and lesbian = 2 front struggle
◦ Accepting differences and call for unity
◦ Heterosexism and homophobia major obstacles to
political organization
◦ Social understanding of normality
◦ Delusion: Black lesbians as apolitical
10. Linkages
◦ Homophobia as a political stumbling block for women
◦ Lesbianism is not a disease
◦ Women working together to end oppression
◦ heterosexism and homophobia
◦ Acknowledging women’s sexual identities through
open communication
12. “The Lesbian Phase”
◦ Explore the idea of lesbian relationships as being part
of an immature sexual stage
◦ Interview high school and college level students
◦ Sample group: 14 - 25
◦ What do they think of lesbian sex?
◦ Why do they think that there is a “lesbian phase”?
◦ Why do some women go through a “lesbian phase”?
14. Modern Implications
Do you see Tila Tequila’s show as “progressive” and
positive as it increases the presence of
lesbians/bisexuals in the media? What are the
implications of raising public awareness through
media?
17. Modern Implications
• We’re interested in Jenny’s (Chaz’ girlfriend)
experience.
• Lesbians are criticized for the use of dildos. Is this
reflected in Bono’s relationship with his girlfriend?
• How is Bono’s experience an example of Irigaray’s
argument that women have plural sexualities?
• Is this just another spectacle?
18. Discussion
According to Rich, both men and women tend to “search
for love and tenderness” in other women because
women are commonly the “earliest sources of
emotional caring and physical nurture.”
However, findings from Statistics Canada state that
there is an increasing number of single parent
families, where the father is the single parent and
caregiver. What are the implications of this for Rich’s
assumptions?
19. Discussion
Society has a need to clearly label different
sexualities, as reflected in our game. With this in
mind, do you think it will ever be possible to eliminate
these labels (such as
homosexuality, heterosexuality, bisexuality) and instead
refer to simply human sexuality?
◦ If so, what will need to happen for this to occur, and
what changes will this affect?
◦ If not, what barriers are there that prevent this from
happening?
