CORE 003 SC - Reading and Writing LGBTQ Lives


What are the politics of representing queer lives? This course explores literary expressions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and/or queer folks in the twentieth and twenty-first century United States. Considering a range of genres - essay, poetry, novel, and drama - our discussion will center on the relationship between aesthetic forms, sexual subjectivity, and intersections with gender, race, and class. Topics may include the influence of memo and “coming out”; mainstream v. subversive queer literature; hybrid forms; film adaptations; and intersections between art and activism. This is a reading-intensive course of primary sources, supplemented by secondary material from a range of disciplines.

Course Credit: 1.0
