Yesterday I attended a one on one catch up session with my tutor about how my CoP work was going. This was after I submitted a draft of my essay to Turn-It in, so we had a chat about what I'd already written for my essay as well. My tutor mentioned that the subject of LGBT was too massive to fit nicely into 9000 or so words, judging by what I'd already covered in my 3000 draft essay - there'd be no way to include everything involving LGBT representation both within equal rights and politically in a way that was satisfy and effective. As I decided first with my artistic response to my self-written essay question, I wanted to focus on transgender women and within my essay I'd spoken a lot about transgender. I've decided to lean towards transgender and gender in animation, as part of the LGBT community, for the remainder of my essay. Here are some personal notes:
- Include queer film.media theory
- Include Michal Foucault
- Close reaping of an episode of 'Super Jai' featuring a Transgender character 'Alice'
- Transphobia, polosies on transphobia/trans
- Primary interviews, GLAADD reports
- Gender, transgender within Rebecca Sugars work
I'm also going to change my artistic response approach and focus on depicting a transgender womans character, I'll also be writing a character on character design involving this within my essay.
