Social Cultural Historical Context
Reflect and perfect - winter holiday pack
Task 2 How do the representations of sexualities reflect the historical, contemporary, social and cultural contexts? In the set text 'cuffs', the view of homosexuality differed within society. Gay marriage was legalised in 2013, this is reflected in 'cuffs' because the main character Jake is openly gay. When Jake tells Ryan he is gay there is no reaction towards that implying a dominant represantion as it is accepted by society as a whole. In 'The Avengers' we are to assume that Steed and Peel are both heterosexual. This is shown when Steed sexually hits Peel on the bum during their fencing game at the beginning. This reflects the historical context of the time because in the 1960's, it was illegal to be openly gay and if you were you could be prosecuted as it was a mental illness. in the 2010's there is no warning about any homosexual acts before a programme in worry of losing viewers as its a common, normal thing to be now and socially...
A great start here...have you watched the rest of the film on youtube and added in the relevant contexts?
