Julie: In addition to sending you my response privately, I am posting it to Screen-l in hopes that others will do the same. I am interested in others' responses to your query, so I hope they will share them by posting to the list. I have just taught a course called Women, Men, and the Media, and found a number of resources that worked well. Specifically addressing your issue about gender boundaries are a few things that I used in the course. _Men and Masculinity in the Media_, Steve Craig, ed., is a very interesting anthology. Craig's opening essay on feminism and men's studies is very good, and several essays specifically look at questions of sexual definition. Denski and Sholle's piece on glam and heavy metal rock stars is one, Robert Hanke's essay on Hegemonic masculinity on thirtysomething is another, and Clay Steinman's essay called "Gaze out of bounds: Men watching men on television" is another. Film resources that worked well included _Some like it Hot_ (two men disguise themselves as women to escape Al Capone's gang--this is a real gender bender in some ways, although them men in drag are very obviously men, especially in contrast to the ultra-lush and zaftig Monroe. _The Crying Game_ probably needs no introduction to anyone, except to emphasize that in contrast to most drag, the intention is really to fool the viewer rather than to reinforce the male spectator's sense of his own masculinity by showing him clues that make the deception obvious. I even know one man who admitted to being ATTRACTED to the character Dil. The same day I showed SLIHot, I showed some scenes from _Pumping Iron II--the Women_ which is about female bodybuilding, specifically documenting the highly developed bodybuilder Bev Francis. A real contrast to Monroe, leading to an interesting discussion of feminine beauty and achievement. I am always on the lookout for resources on this topic myself, and would be interested in others' responses. Jane Banks
