  • Teaching Masculinity with MEF's Tough Guise and Tough Guise 2
    D. O’Malley 1 Teaching Media Quarterly ISSN: 2573-0126 Volume 7, Issue 2: Teaching Mediated Violence, 2019 pubs.lib.umn.edu/tmq Teaching Masculinity with MEF’s Tough Guise and Tough Guise 2 Donica O’Malley All work published in Teaching Media Quarterly is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License. Teaching Media Quarterly, Vol. 7, No. 2, 2019 D. O’Malley 2 “Violence is a Men’s Issue”: Teaching Masculinity with MEF’s Tough Guise and Tough Guise 2 Donica O’Malley, Northeastern University Overview As masculinity becomes an increasingly divisive topic in public discourse, it is important that students understand it from a critical perspective. Courses that teach about masculinity through media studies can help with this goal. However, it is often difficult for students to critique aspects of American culture that are perceived as natural and go unquestioned, such as masculinity. Additionally, some students with privileged identities, particularly men, may react to material about gender and power defensively (Pleasants 2011, 234). By editing together innumerable examples, documentary films such as Media Education Foundation’s (MEF) Tough Guise and Tough Guise 2 can help students visually and auditorily recognize patterns in the ways that masculinity is constructed via media. In the following lesson plan, I first introduce students to the theoretical concept of hegemonic masculinity and have them connect it to their own lives through a series of prompted questions. Next, students watch a clip from MEF’s Tough Guise (1999) and the entirety of Tough Guise 2 (2013). Students then debrief through self-reflection.

  • De Palma's Scarface, Cinema Spectatorship, and the Hip Hop Gangsta As Urban Superhero
    SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND: DE PALMA'S SCARFACE, CINEMA SPECTATORSHIP, AND THE HIP HOP GANGSTA AS URBAN SUPERHERO Rob Prince A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2009 Committee: Donald McQuarie, Advisor Priscilla K. Coleman Graduate Faculty Representative Halifu Osumare Awad Ibrahim © 2009 Rob Prince All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Donald McQuarie, Advisor The objective of the study is to intervene in the ongoing discourse that interrogates the relationship between fictional ultraviolent film representations and real life behavior in audiences that these types of films are marketed to. Using a case study approach to apparatus and audience reception theories, the dissertation investigates the significant role Scarface, the 1983 gangster film directed by Brian De Palma, has played in influencing the cultural and social development of young African-American males who live in American inner cities. The study focuses on how the inner city portion of the Scarface audience came to self-identify themselves as “gangstas” (a Hip-hop term for gangster) and why one particular character in the film, a murderous drug dealer, has served as the gangsta role model for heroic behavior for over twenty-five years. The study found that performing the gangsta male identity emotionally satisfies these economic and socially disconnected young men and that this group viewed the violent and illegal behavior in Scarface as
