Presented by Manuel Soares (Portugal – Coimbra University)
Media can either challenge or continue stereotypes, especially when it comes to subcultures like Goths. Through analyzing various movies and television shows with Goth characters, we discuss how often typical stereotypes are shown. While it can be
difficult to determine the creators intentions, it's important to recognize how these portrayals can influence how the public views the Goth subculture.
Part of the Gothic Identity Lecture Series
During the 31st Wave-Gotik-Treffen, Gothic Identity will organize a series of lectures and discussions in English, that will focus on several aspects of the gothic identity including its history, the use of political or spiritual symbolism, and the deeper artistic concepts. We are happy to announce a new, larger location for this year, conveniently close to the Pagan Village and the Agra. Free entry with a WGT wristband.
