Document Summary

This week"s materials include physique pioneers: the politics of 1960"s gay consumer. Culture by david k. johnson, transgender history, homonormativity, and disciplinarity by. Susan stryker, short film scorpio rising by kenneth anger, and film screaming queens: the. Riot at campton"s cafeteria by susan stryker and victor silverman. The short film scorpio rising seemed very interesting and different to me as i have never watched a movie like that before. It was also very difficult for me to identify the key elements of the movie as it had no dialogue and i had to pay close attention to the music to understand the vibe. In the movie, we witness several elements of hyper masculinity; such as, being obsessed with the bikes, wearing leather jacket and boots, excessive jewelry and listening to hip-hop music.
