What’s with indian cinema and the commodificatio of women
The document discusses the "commodification" of women in Indian cinema. It notes that many popular item numbers portray women as objects for male pleasure through scantily clad dancing. While some women-centric films address women's issues, they are rare. The film industry tends to rely on cultural stereotypes and objectification of women to generate revenue. However, the situation is complex as some recent popular item numbers were choreographed by women. The document argues that films reflect society, and changing women's portrayals in cinema could help shift societal attitudes over time.
Gender and middle class values
This document discusses gender roles and middle class values in Victorian Britain between 1830-1900. It outlines traditional stereotypes of masculinity and femininity, with men expected to be breadwinners and women supporters of the home. Respectability was highly valued, demonstrated through financial prudence, moral behavior, and protecting women. Working class women faced greater challenges adhering to these standards due to low wages and sexual vulnerability. The roles and expectations of women began expanding later in the century through activities like evangelism and charity work, though usually framed as an extension of women's nurturing role.

Chapt 9 discussion
This document poses a series of questions about the cultural production of knowledge regarding Latina/os and their sexualities. It asks how studies of Latina/o sexualities have avoided essentialism and been subject to paternalism. It discusses how such cultural production arose in the 1960s-1970s and references influential texts and authors from that era. The document also questions how nationalist myths can be oppressive and how issues of race and passing have been underscored in discussions of Latina/o identity.
Chapt 9 discussion
This chapter discusses the cultural production of knowledge about Latina/os and their sexualities from the 1960s to present. It addresses how early studies of Latina/o sexualities were sometimes essentialist or imperialistic, and how more recent analyses provide nuanced critiques of essentialism through works like This Bridge Called My Back and examinations of intersecting identities. The chapter also explores how some early Latino writers in the 1960s and 1970s began openly addressing homosexuality in their work, contributing to the development of Latina/o literature and challenging nationalist myths.
Eva longoria-discussion
This document discusses common Latina stereotypes portrayed in media such as the "hot Latina" and examines how the character Eva Longoria plays on the TV show Desperate Housewives reinforces these stereotypes. It presents three common categories of Latina representations - the Cantina girl, faithful self-sacrificing senorita, and vamp - and analyzes how Longoria's character fits the mold of the Cantina girl through her emphasis on sex appeal and validation through attention to her appearance. The document questions whether perpetuating these stereotypes through positive reinforcement in media limits the overall image of Latinos.
Talkin’ sex
The document discusses a 1983 project that interviewed 17 Mexican and Chicana women about their experiences with sexuality, pleasure, and discussing sex.

It provided interesting facts from the interviews like differences in age of first intercourse, views of sexuality education, and sanctions for sexual experimentation. The document aims to make connections between these topics and themes in the movie "Like Water for Chocolate."
