Course Catalog Description:: What codes are at work that make a film Queer? In Queer Cinema, you will be an interpretive artist and active spectator as we analyze and consider subversive cinema from across nations and historical periods. Sometimes these films will be obviously queer or trans. However, queer and trans film is often coded or distorted, especially in response to legal or societal censorship or disapproval. As a result, Queer directors and writers sometimes speak in a liberatory way to particular oppressed/silenced groups on the level of coded content, but if the content is consumed out of context of the code, the experience of a film may be contradictory, even offensive. Consequently we'll be looking for the queer subversions within the distortions.
