Thesis
Approaches
Why do discourse and the terms surrounding it help us to communicate gender?
- I will be finding examples of discursive practices of both masculinity and femininity through the main characters in the film, and drawing a comparison between the two.
- Evaluate discourses attached to both masculinity and femininity
- John Wayne's character - Very "masculine"
- Claire Trever (Dallas) - Heterosexual prostitute
- Very transgressive for the time period
- How does discourse as a form of power contribute to the establishment of gender in the film "Stagecoach?"
Sources

History of Sexuality reading
- I will also be using scholarly articles and examples from pop culture to help illustrate the differences
