Discuss the ways in which modernism and postmodernism affected society’s notions about gender identity?

  • Discuss the ways in which modernism and postmodernism affected society’s notions about gender identity. You should discuss the work of communication artists (photographers, illustrators, graphic designers) who have addressed this theme in their work. 2000 words It's an essay question which i have no idea how to make a start on. I am going to look at Nan Goldin as an example of photography relating to the them but can anyone give me any sources or knowledge of their own that can help me answer the question? thank you

For one thing sexuality is rushes of blood and erections while gender is behaviours, customs and the way people move their body. Gender is more social and less physical. Few feminists think they can think a beard onto their face but do think that they can work or take part in competitive sports i.e. a divide between the social and physical. This seems to be vindicated by the fact that gay men can exhibit either behaviours, customs or body movements as camp or straight acting inspite of the goings on in their pants. Another thing is the fact that homosexuality is so universal(even repressive countries like Iran) which working women,and home caring ones are not and are not even homogeneous. Edit. Whatever about the possible physical affects of brain on gender the point I was making is that an erection is a singular response to a stimulus while customs, roles and body language are a mesh of responses: They are a bundle of traits. Some which clearly don't add up. For example women are meant to be communicators which is essential in sports that need co-op sports and politics. But their is paucity of participation in both. Co-op Sports in itself is a bundle of traits, its not only being aggressive, but co-operative and communicative. So even if you could say that aggression(like sexuality) was biologically determined you certainly couldn't say that gender roles/gender or sport as a whole were. Theres definitely a clear cut qualitative leap there.
