This course provides students with an introduction to the fundamental approaches, theories, and perspectives essential for an understanding media and sexuality in the twentieth and twenty-first century. Throughout the term we will explore many ways in which our symbolic environment shapes, constructs, and resists our comprehension of sexuality in the media. This course will pay close attention to how culture informs and shapes media production and how media, in turns, affects sexuality.
