I really like how Katz separates the developing periods of heterosexuality. I would have liked to read more about how during the Greek era homosexuality was widely accepted and commonly practiced, but this article was about heterosexuality, so I do understand why it was not included. Growing up in this age it's so interesting to look back into the past and see how differently things are these days. Just look at how people act with their sexuality everything is in the open and exposed. Imagine if we had to live in the Early Victorian True Love Period, I think it can be compared to a the time before cell phones, we would be completely lost. Although maybe life would be easier. But then I think it would be interesting to live in the Late Victorian Sex Love era too.
Ma Vie en Rose was such a thought provoking movie. I have no idea how Ludo must have felt going through all that family drama. Another good movie for this class could be All About My Mother. We watched it in my film history class. It's about Transgenders and Transsexuals and has a convoluted telenovela plot line. Very interesting movie. It deals a lot with the issues of I guess you can call it sexism or transsexualism in Spain. I highly recommend it.
Did you see any connections between Katz's essay and Ma Vie En Rose?
ReplyDeleteI love All About My Mother and also highly recommend it!
