Homework for 2/9

Hi everyone,

Here is your homework for Tuesday, 2/9:

1. Read Slagle and Yep, "Taming Brian: Sex, Love, and Romance in Queer as Folk" (Bb).
2. For your blog post this week, I'd like you to post a 300-400 word proposal for your next essay. This will give you a chance to get feedback from your peers and myself before you begin to work on the essay. Here is what the proposal should include:

a.What is the television show/ad campaign/film/album you would like to analyze? Why?
b. What is your attitude towards your topic? What are you curious/critical about?
c. Try to develop a working thesis for this essay. It can be simplistic, like "On the television show Sex and the City, the women's sexuality seems to be liberating, but in the end always conforms with heteronormativity." You do not have to stick to this thesis, but it will give us a general idea of the direction you think you are headed.
d. Implications: by analyzing this media, what do you hope to show your audience?
