> (In)visibilities: Homosexualities in the media
>
> The visibility, and conversely invisibilities, of homosexuality  
> become more
> prominent in mainstream media daily. The proliferation of homosexual
> characters on television, in film and in other media outlets has  
> raised new
> questions about representations of homosexuality and how they are  
> packaged
> for mainstream audiences. In keeping with the theme of the conference:
> (Re)Markable Identities: Confronting, Corrupting, and Conflating  
> Cultural
> Discourses, the goal of this panel is to explore how visual,  
> invisible and
> implied representations of homosexuality in the media seek to subvert,
> re-appropriate, negate and sometimes reinforce dominant discourses
> concerning homosexuality.
>
> The following list of potential themes is not meant to be  
> exhaustive, but
> suggestive:
>
> •	Analysis of specific films/programs
> •	Queer narratives e.g. 'Coming out'
> •	Transgender, transsexual and transvestite voices and images
> •	Representation of Aids / people with Aids
> •	Cross-dressing
> •	Heterosexual and queer passing
> •	Queer voices and images across ethnic, racial, cultural and class
> difference
> •	Critical reception, censorship
>
