RLST 184 PO - Queer Theory and the Bible
This course will look at how the Bible can be read productively through queer theory. We will examine biblical passages that are central to prohibitions on homosexuality, and the larger discourses of heteronormativity (constructed around gender, sexuality, class, national identity, state formations, kinship, children etc.) in which homophobic readings of the Bible emerge. We will also look at the ways in which these discourses and the identities they shore up can be “queered,” as well as at biblical texts that can be read as queer friendly. This process of queering will allow and require us to approach the biblical text in new ways. CWS.
