CORE 002 SC - Historical Fictions: Contemporary Representations of Gender, Sexuality, and Race in Nineteenth Century America
This class will examine the genre of historical fiction and the cultural uses of history in contemporary fictional texts. Looking specifically at representations of 19th-century America in late 20th- and 21st-century U.S. literature, film and art, we will analyze what such representations say about our relationship to the past and how we use the past to address contemporary concerns. In critically analyzing cultural texts, we will build a theoretical framework that is informed by feminist, queer, and critical race theories while also attending to intersectional analyses that consider the relationship between gender, sexuality, race, class, and national belonging.
Instructor: C. Guzaitis
