Blog Bud Meeting

Over this week me and Saz discussed our independent studies and how they relate. we both are focsuing on gender roles in the media and the hollywood/American meda industry. The books that we both found helpful to each others studies were "violence in the media" and "film thoery", focusing on sexual crimes, objectification of women in the media. furthermore. "Film theory" has a section on "the feminist intervention" and includes many thoeries and theorists, Laura Mulvey, Male Gaze and also displays in depth information of marxism and hierarchical gendered social relataions-patrichal society.

Books exchanged and Studied

I have given Saz the "film Theory" book by Robert Stam as it provides a detailed insoght into feminism and male dominance and male backlash. The book we studied together was "violence in the media" as both our texts focus and crimes against women and their portrayal of sexual objects. Pages 114 to 116 and 127. The book i was given by saz was "the monsterous feminine" the book give indformation of the feminism movement and thoery of specific film texts, this will help me as it shows how women were portrayed in past films.
