Welcome to the class blog for Spring 2014 Gender, Sexuality, and Media at Queens College/CUNY. This blog is a collaboration between the instructor and students. We'll post and comment on various topics from key theoretical concepts in critical gender theory to queer theory and media matters. This is a space of speculation.
Great video Dan! I think for your paper you should describe how you feel that these super heroes are an example of "camp" for masculinity. Also as a child what drew you to the "boy" section of the toy store?
Secondly, I agree with Vicky. You should look further into the camp aspect, especially as it is tied into Halberstein's theory and how you didn't agree with them. It could also give you more of a platform to (keep) thinking about your own thoughts on the subject.
