DESCRIPTION:See the film The Codes of Gender and stay for a discussion. (7-9 
 pm)\n\nWritten and directed by  Sut Jhally, The Codes of Gender applies the 
 late sociologist Erving Goffman's groundbreaking analysis of advertising to 
 the contemporary commercial landscape, showing how one of American popular 
 culture's most influential forms communicates normative ideas about 
 masculinity and femininity.\n\nIn striking visual detail, The Codes of 
 Gender explores Goffman's central claim that gender ideals are the result 
 of ritualized cultural performance, uncovering a remarkable pattern of 
 masculine and feminine displays and poses. It looks beyond advertising as a 
 medium that simply sells products, and beyond analyses of gender that focus 
 on biological difference or issues of objectification and beauty, to 
 provide a clear-eyed view of the two-tiered terrain of identity and power 
 relations.\n\nWith its sustained focus on how our perceptions of what it 
 means to be a man or a woman get reproduced and reinforced on the level of 
 culture in our everyday lives, The Codes of Gender is certain to inspire 
 discussion and debate across a range of disciplines.\n\n(Revolution Books 
 would like to thank the Media Education Foundation for making the film 
 available for this showing) \n
