DISCLAIMER: normally, these cases will be discussed but there may be changes possible during the year
,THIS COURSE:
• How identity and diversity are dealt with, produced, represented, regulated, consumed and constructed in
and through popular media culture
• Discussing identity = personal
• Some rules:
– do not attack someone’s personal belief or opinions
– be respectful at all times
– do not feel ‘pressured’ to speak from a particular subject position but try to imagine what persons
may feel
• English-language course
• How does it relate to other courses? (International Communication, Cultural Media Studies)
MEANING TITLE OF THIS COURSE
Diversity refers to gender identity, etnicity, sexual identity, age… (it is very wide)
→ In this course we will try to understand how people make representations and how important these
representations are
People embody identities (even when not visible) → there are some rules you have to take into account while
talking about identity and diversity

, ELECTION OF MISS BELGIUM 2018
This election in 2018 wasn’t like any other
The same: group of girls/woman that particated to become miss and the won that wins carries the title en
participated
Different: Angeline Flor Pua wons the election. The minute that it was announced there was a lot of fuzz. The
first place where we can hear a rumour is on social media. But it was also in print media. It was the first miss
Belgium that had a different background (Chinese, phillipino background). The backlash was the reason. On
twitter there were people that make comments etc.
“She does not look Belgian”
They implied that this miss Belgium implied that she wasn’t white, they link it to
the idea that someone who represents Belgium should be white. They were
degrading her, really problematic jokes that were homophobic, racist. BUT what
is Belgian??)
→ This happened through a process of:
– othering (= she did not look like a typical Belgian, she was
looked at as being different/ not part of a group)
– and degrading (= the were making problematic jokes that were
homophobic, transphobic, racist…)
