Bombay Eunoch
January 19, 2007

 In today's class, we will view the film, Bombay Eunoch. The film, narrated by Kira Hall, is about the hijras of India. The film is longer than the class time allows, so we will begin sharp on the hour in order to see as much of it as possible.

Readings

Before your section this week, read the following paper about the construction of an imagined teen girl community in a teen magazine:
