CCTP-704-01 Gender, Sexuality, and the Body
Spring only
There are no sites of identity more intense, more personal, and more contentious than the intersection of gender, sexuality and the body. Using these themes as a locus, this seminar will range across a rich field: from psychoanalysis to queer studies to performance studies and beyond. Concurrent with our thematic focus on gender/sexuality/body, we will also address questions of method: what does it mean to do a cultural studies of gender/sex/body? To meet these two aims, readings will consist of both theoretical explorations as well as case studies which use theoretical constructs to perform cultural analysis. Students may expect to encounter the works of Michel Foucault, Judith Butler, Joan Scott, Luce Irigaray, bell hooks, Gayatri Spivak, and Donna Haraway, among others.
Substantial reading, writing, and discussion will be required. In order to facilitate a research project, a project proposal (including statement of method), literature review, and preliminary evidence analysis will be the primary student product.
