The "Lesbian On Display:” An Analysis Of Representations Of “Lesbian” Identities And Sexualities In Contemporary American Film, Amanda J. Swygart-Hobaugh M.L.S., Ph.D.
Mandy (Amanda) Swygart-Hobaugh
This research consists of an analysis of “lesbian” identities and sexualities as represented in a sample of contemporary American films. Through this analysis I explored 1) the constructed “lesbian” identities and sexualities; 2) the displays of “lesbian” sexual interactions and their perceived intended audiences; and 3) the differences of these depictions as affected by the persons constructing these representations of “lesbian” identities and sexualities.
