Icona. Ispiratore. Eroe. La sua vita ha cambiato la storia, e il suo coraggio ha cambiato la vita di tante persone. Nel 1977, Harvey Milk è stato eletto supervisor (consigliere comunale) a San Francisco, divenendo il primo omosessuale dichiarato ad avere accesso a una importante carica pubblica in America. La sua vittoria non è stata solo una vittoria per i diritti dei gay, ma ha aperto la strada a coalizioni trasversali nello schieramento politico. Harvey Milk ha incarnato per molti – dagli anziani agli iscritti al sindacato – una nuova figura di militante per i diritti civili; e con la sua morte prematura, avvenuta nel 1978, è diventato un eroe per tutti gli americani. L’attore premio Oscar Sean Penn interpreta Harvey Milk, diretto dal regista candidato all’Oscar Gus Van Sant, in Milk, un film girato a San Francisco, tratto da una sceneggiatura originale di Dustin Lance Black, e prodotto dai premi Oscar Dan Jinks e Bruce Cohen.

His life changes when he is offered a million dollars for his latest and most personal work – “The Dying Gaul,” the raw, autobiographical story of the death of his lover.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Coming Out of the Television LGBT-themed Made-for-Television Movies as Critical Media Pedagogy Submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Education by David Randolph Craig 2014 © Copyright by David Craig 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Coming Out of the Television LGBT-themed Made-for Television Movies as Critical Media Pedagogy David Randolph Craig Doctor of Philosophy in Education University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Douglas M. Kellner, Chair Since the early 1970s, an important but under-examined subgenre of Made-for-Television Movies have foregrounded critical LGBT concerns, including coming out, parental custody, HIV/AIDS, gays in the military, and hate crimes or featured affirmative LGBT representations. These programs, often highly-rated and critically-acclaimed, were nonetheless sites of political contestation from social conservatives and LGBT activists. Through the lenses of critical media pedagogy, critical cultural studies, and critical media industries studies, this dissertation conducts a critical cultural history of LGBT TV movies. This history includes critical case studies of twenty seminal LGBT programs featuring original interviews with the producers, executives, and writers responsible for their pedagogical design. The evidence reflects how these programs helped frame these concerns, educate audiences, and advocate on behalf of the LGBT community. This research further suggests how progressive pedagogues and media
