Journal: GLQ

A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies

>from "Queer Film & Media Pedagogy":

"...recalling Ben H. Bagdikian, the communications industry has become a “media monopoly ” that works to sustain multinational rivalry over the world’s dwindling natural resources and increasingly disenfranchised labor force, dumb down the populace, politically isolate demographic regions, and suppress speech and free dissent, especially regarding strategies of resistance, wherever they may flourish
The following roundtable on queer film and media pedagogy is intended to open space for long-overdue, much-needed dialogue and debate over these issues and the questions to which they allude, and in turn to supply reasons for GLBTQ academics ’ refusal to comply with institutional pressures on them to assimilate, return to ghetto culture and the closet, or keep silent about their difficult histories and efforts so as to prop up an ostensible GLBTQ “market.
