Popular Screen Cultures and Identity
This research area primarily focuses on how identity is represented in popular screens, how identity is constructed with and through popular screens, and the importance of popular screens for understanding identity. Research in this area examines the multifaceted nature of identities, subjectivities, and bodies and their equally varied and diverse relationship to screen media.
