Positive images (in transcoding): substitute positive images for negative ones (ex: cam & mitch from modern family: problem: increases diversity, but does not displace negative images; still relies on binaries. Critique from within (in transcoding): de-naturalize, de-familiarize, confront stereotypes: make stereotypes work against themselves (key & peele skit) Intersectionality: intersectionality as a frame that brings together theory and lived experience: 3 aspects, all overlapping: structural intersectionality, political intersectionality, and representational intersectionality. Structural intersectionality: - "overlapping structures of subordination" (crenshaw); Political intersectionality: - "discourses are sometimes presented as either/or propositions, with the validity of each necessarily precluding the validity of the other" (crenshaw) Representational intersectionality: - "the way that race and gender images, readily available in our culture, converge to create unique and speci c narratives deemed appropriate for women of color"(crenshaw)
