By 9 pm on Wednesday June 2, please post a 600-word (min) response to the following prompt:
In "Resistance Through Charisma: Rita Hayworth and Gilda" and "Femme Fatale or Lesbian Femme: Bound in Sexual Difference" respectively, Richard Dyer and Chris Straayer argue that the genre of film noir offers potentials for queer gender and sexuality configurations that can resist the ideological work of genre conventions. What potentials are at work in Gilda (Dir. Charles Vidor, 1946) and Bound (Dirs. Andy and Lana Wachowski)? How do each of the films mobilize race and nation in relation to gender and sexuality, or how are the films’ queerness racialized?
Remember to link to at least 1 visual text and explain how it relates to the content of your post and the issues we've been discussing in class.
