| Resource Title | Negotiated representation: a three-pronged discourse analysis on the representation of Filipino men-loving-men in selected Filipino BL films |
| Date Issued | 13 June 2022 |
| Abstract | “Boys’ Love” (BL) is an emerging genre in the Filipino media industry that offers an opportunity to challenge the country’s ambivalence on the gay community. As a scholarly inquiry, this study aimed to analyze the emerging discourses of men-loving men representation in selected Filipino BL films across three sites: the films themselves (texts), the audience’s reception, and the discursive practices that surround their production. Guided by the Theory of Multimodality, Cathy Cohen’s insights on heteronormativity, McInroy and Craig’s grounded study, Schroder’s reception model, and J. Neil Garcia’s works, we analyzed four selected BL films, 12 Filipino MLM informant insights, and 12 secondary-sourced interviews from the film’s cast and crew. Analysis of the discourses revealed that while there are certain divergences and convergences on the matter of representation, all three showed a mutual agenda for visibility, albeit constricted by limited and limiting conditions that they face. |
