The Representation of Gender from Zoe Lorenz


Remember - Laura Mulvey is your key theorist for this. Other theorists to look at as part of your revision would be Liesbet van Zoonan and bell hooks for Feminist theory and Judith Butler for theories of gender performativity.




In general Stuart Hall and David Gauntlett - they will keep popping up.

TV Drama - A Brief Introduction

One of the first lessons we covered for the start of year 12 was identifying aspects of Television Drama. This is the exam topic for the end of year 12 and, although we won't be looking at it in depth just yet, I thought it was valid to start thinking about.

In the lesson we looked at types of TV Drama, how they appeal to specific audiences and how certain groups are represented. You were also set a task to watch an episode of a TV Drama of your choice and write a short blog post explaining what it was you watched, who it was aimed at and how you know and how representation is used.

I will be checking blogs and commenting on posts. To make my life easier can you make sure you follow the TNHA Media blog, that way I can locate you through the blog dashboard. You also need to be tagging your blogs so that you can find them easier. Anything related to the preliminary task should be tagged as such while any work on audience for TV Drama should be tagged audience, TV Drama and so on.
