Sex and Gender
Needs rewriting to include thesis and conclusion along with sources. Here are some items to think about. Please try to reference the film. The link is at the bottomHow does the documentary film Southern Comfort by Kate Davis demonstrate the social construction of gender/sex?Draft a 2 sentence thesis statement for Paper #2 that answers the guiding question. Put a star (*) in front of the thesis so your peers can easily identify it.Write 1 paragraph that introduces/summarizes the film Southern Comfort.Write 1 paragraph that draws on the Wilchins readings to explain the terms gender and sex and how these concepts have changed over timeWrite 1 paragraph that explains Butler’s idea of gender as performativity produced (you can use an scene from the film to help illustrate performativity)Write 1 paragraph that includes an analysis of a relational scene from the film that demonstrates the social construction of gender/sexIncludes a thesis statement that is focused and directly relates to the guiding question of the paperDraws on the Wilchins reading to explain the terms gender and sex and how these concepts have changed over time.Includes a discussion of Butler’s concept of gender as performativity produced.Includes an analysis of a scene from the film that is relational (a conversation or interaction) and demonstrates the social construction of gender/sex.Only quotes when absolutely necessary! Writer puts ideas from the readings in their own words. since the goal of the draft is to also relate how the social construction of gender/sex is according to Wilchins and Butler,I suggest if you can also include Wilchins reading to explain what gender and sex is. Pages 135 to 136, the Sex Into Gender is a great section in which you can draw Wilchins meaning of gender and sex. To me the part where the writer gave the example of his parents still considering Robert (who everyone around him sees him as a man) a woman (their daughter) was effective because it shows that socially, gender/sex has been constructed in a way that would make Robert feel comfortable. I suggest adding something about the reading that ties into your belief in your thesis to make the writer more rooted in the readings/conceptshttps://youtu.be/IH0L3wlV0hg
