AMST-214 Queer Literature and Film
Examination of the historical and theoretical constructions of sexual and gender identities through the literature and film of the late 19th c – present. The course will explore a range of issues including the emergence, normalization and regulation of heterosexuality and "homosexuality" as categories of identity; intersections with race, class and queerness; transgender identity and subjectivity; constructions of the "family" among others. Our analyses of LGBT literature and film will be grounded by contemporary debates in feminist, gender, and queer studies.
