Tangerine is a film unlike virtually any other feature-length representation of trans lives. For this film analysis essay, consider the larger questions related to gender, sexuality, representation, intersectionality, agency, and other concepts we’ve studied the semester. What broader feminist theoretical concepts do you see Tangerine embodying? How might you argue the film itself theorizes, that is, offers a new way of understanding something larger about contemporary culture?
Write an essay 4-5 double-spaced pages in length (grad students 5-7 double-spaced pages in length) Formulate a central thesis about Tangerine (core idea, main argument), illustrate and support your thesis using specific scenes, dialogue, or other details about the film, connect the film with at least three essays from Feminist and Queer Theory: An Intersectional and Transnational Reader (you may also include Sara Ahmed’s Living a Feminist Life as one of your secondary sources). Be sure to include a List of Works Cited (using MLA (Links to an external site.), APA (Links to an external site.), or Chicago (Links to an external site.) style for citations. Use whichever you are most familiar with. If you are unfamiliar with any, please refer to the Purdue Online Writing Lab to use MLA (Links to an external site.) )
