Attraction, desire, and pleasure are ultimately invisible feelings and experiences. Throughout the semester we have explored a range of ways in which films, television, mass media, and contemporary fiction communicate and express these feelings and experiences to audiences. For your final paper, you will select one example of attraction, desire, or pleasure from popular culture to make an argument about how the text represents attraction, desire, or pleasure and what the representation says about how these issues are understood in culture, more generally. For example, does the model of desire presented in your text support the coupling of desire and heterosexual romance? Does your text gender pleasure, and how does it support cultural constructions of gender difference? Does your text undermine traditional models of attraction, and how might this offer a novel model of partnership, intimacy, sexuality, or the family structure?
