ESTABLISHING “QUEERREALITY” AS A DEFINITIVE GENRE:
Requirements (in accordance to Miller):
- Determine conventional category of discourse (based in large-scale typification of rhetorical action)
- What is the meaning acquired by the social context in which the situation (not homophobia, situation being demand for queer representation on reality television?) arose?
- Distinguish genre from form, the form of the new QE is important but only insofar as it “consititues the substance of our cultural life”
- What are the “private intentions” and “social exigence” that motivates by connecting “private with the public/singular with the recurrent”
Other shows fitting in the “genre”:
- MATCHMAKING/COMPETITIONS: (Many of the shows have spin offs/series for other countries)
o RuPaul’s Drag Race
o ANTM (Since adding men/queer men)
o Are You the One? (Since adding queer persons)
o Big Brother (specific seasons/spin offs)
o Project Runway
o Fire Island
- BIOPICS:
o I Am Jazz
o I Am Cait
- GROUP PERSONALITIES
o The Real L Word
o Queer Eye for the Straight Guy
o Queer Eye
o The A-List
o Love and Hip Hop
o Transcendant
