BFI Study Day: follow-up work

2) Write a one-sentence summary of the ideas of the theorists Matthew Daintrey-Hall covered (you can use your notes from task 1 here if relevant):

bell hooks: intersectionality: race, gender , ethnicity,sexuality , social class combining and lack of power in society
gender roles are contructed and not "natural"--indocrinates people

Liesbet van Zoonen:  built on butlers --gender is a performance
women being objectified by the media, equality being defined by patriarchy
liberal feminist- focused on individual womans political and personal autonomy

Judith Butler:gender is a performance, based on societal expectations

Saussure  + Barthes: denotations-exact meaning of media text, connotations- deeper meaning or polysemic- multiple meaning

Stuart Hall: reception theory : proffered, negotiated and oppositional reading

Lyotard: meta narrative - totaling cultural narrative, that organizes thought and experience into a graqnd story that makes sense in our lives

Baudrillard: simularacra --imitation that seems more real than the thing its imitating

3) Choose one of the films we saw extracts from and watch the whole movie: Captain Fantastic (2016), Pulp Fiction (1994) or Inception (2010). Write a 300 word analysis of your chosen film using theories from the study day (use the exam paragraph structure we were shown on the day - theory introduction, examples from text, why this 'proves' or 'disproves' the theory).
