Come to URCAD on Wednesday, April 26 where Caleb Metcalf will present his research “Boy Meets Girl, Boy, Girl: Subverting Master Narratives in the Web-Series MANN/FRAU”. His presentation will focus on the German comedy web-series MANN/FRAU (“MAN/WOMAN”).

MANN/FRAU is atypical in its approach to New Queer Cinema, as the first season revolves around a heteronormative “boy-meets-girl” master narrative, which is subverted and developed into a counternarrative in the second season to explore various issues including polyamorous relationships and the view of sexuality as a spectrum.
