Boy Meets Girl

For your assignment, you are asked to analyse the film you choose using a minimum of three readings from the course material. Please make sure to link your analysis of the film directly to concepts or themes discussed in the readings. For example, you might use Stuart Halls analysis of stereotypes to talk about a stereotype in the film. You might use Jack Halberstams concept of mumblecore to analyse the gender norms and hetero-norms in the film. You might use bell hooks interlocking analysis to examine how race, gender and class oppression are represented or perpetuated in the film.

You might want to consult feminist pop culture blogs on websites like Bitch, Blackgirldangerous, Jezabel, Racialicious or Feministing to get inspiration for this assignment.
