FMS 150 University of California Irvine Expanding Identity on Youth Shows Discussion

Please engage at least one of this week’s authors (Mary Beltrán )

https://www.flowjournal.org/2010/08/meaningful-div…

and both of the week’s screenings (Glee, “Pilot” and The Fosters, “Quinceañera”), see Bublup “ALL SCREENING” file for both movies. (SEE ATTACHED FILE FOR LOG. IN )

to craft an organized and coherent 300-500 word response to the week’s material. You may choose to address any one or multiple of the below prompts and/or pose your own questions, critiques, and assessments. Please address specific and relevant aesthetic/thematic/narrative details about the episode(s), though, and use direct quotes or substantive paraphrases of the readings. You may start with some summary but synopsis should not comprise the bulk of your post.

• How are Glee and The Fosters representative of their networks’ (Fox and ABC Family/Freeform, respectively) brand identities? What are the political ramifications of these outlets’ corporate strategies?
