----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Hello. My name is Brian Mangin, a senior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I am currently doing a research project in which I am looking at gesture and movement as it is performed in popular culture media forms - and specifically as it relates to how gender is performed through this movement. Being not terribly well versed (viewed?) in film history, I am soliciting opinions about specific films to look at. What I am looking for are films in four different time periods (1920-40, 1940-60, 1960-80, and 1980-present) in which the plot centers around a male-female couple who display stereotypical gender roles. I am also looking for (in the same time periods) examples of films with non-stereotypical gender roles (Annie Oakley, for example). I am specifically looking for more popular films (as opposed to art-films). All responses/opinions will be greatly appreciated. Please respond directly to me, as I am not subscribed to this list. Any questions, please email me. Thank you! Brian Mangin [log in to unmask]
