As a result, popular press commentators and audiences have increasingly employed discourses of normalisation in attempting to understand the ways in which these representations fit in a predominantly heterosexual mediasphere. This thesis provides a critical analysis of the discourses of normalisation in gay, lesbian and queer representation on Australian television and surrounding commentary. These discourses will be analysed through the textual analysis of a selection of programs broadcast on Australian television. Titles include: Number 96, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, The Block, Will and Grace, Prisoner, Queer as Folk and The L Word. Queer theory, gay and lesbian identity theory and television studies provide the frameworks for these analyses. This thesis posits that discourses of pro-normalisation and anti-normalisation operate in these programs, often within the same text. It also argues that programs aspiring to represent queer sexual diversity often employ discourses of pro-normalisation, and, on the other hand, programs that aspire to present gay and lesbian assimilation at times contain transgressive queer elements." -- ABSTRACTNotes: This is an honours thesis submitted by Fronscesca Jackson-Webb for the partial credit in Bachelor of Communication (Professional Communication) (Honours)Contents: -- abstract -- statement of authorship-- acknowledgments -- introduction -- definition of terms -- chapter 1: from identity politics to queer theory -- 1.1: identity theory, culture and politics -- 1.2:the rise of queer theory -- 1.3: queer versus normal: discourses of queer and normalisation -- 1.4: theories of normalisation -- 1.5: the mass media -- chapter 2: gay representations of pro-normalisation -- 2.1: Number 96 -- 2.2: Will and Grace -- 2.3: The Block -- chapter 3: queer representations resisting normalisation -- 3.1: Prisoner -- 3.2: showtime's Queer as Folk and The L Word -- chapter 4: representations of Camp Identity -- 4.1: camp identity -- 4.2 Will and Grace -- 4.2 Queer Eye for the Straight Guy -- 4.4: Queer as Folk -- conclusion -- list of references -- videography --

AUSTRALIA ; TRANSGENDER AND TV Summary: A deep dive into iconic 1980s Australian women-in-prison TV drama Prisoner (aka Cell Block H), its contemporary reimagining as Wentworth, and its broader, global industry significance and influence, this book brings together a range of scholarly and industry perspectives, including an interview with actor Shareena Clanton (Wentworth’s Doreen Anderson). Its chapters draw on talks with producers, screenwriters and casting; fan voices from the Wentworth twitterverse; comparisons with Netflix’s Orange is the New Black; queer and LGBTQ approaches; and international production histories and contexts.
