Chapter 7

Chapter 7: Imitation and Gender Insubordination
Binary is intelligible.
Construction of what it means to be man/woman is oppressive.
The history of itself is in fact influx.
Sexuality, Gender, and sex, are not exclusive.
The representation of something always has access.
The Midiam is the message.

T.V is what creates our reality.
News is represented as “reality”.

In class we watched a few scenes from the film Team America World Police. This animated film was used as a satire representation of created clichés and stereotypes on American and Politics in many other popular big budget films. The title of the movie comes from political criticism that U.S one-sidedly tries to control or “police” the world. We also see the current representation and stereotypes of the Middle Eastern other.
