WMGST-348 Queer and Trans Visual Cultures

This course examines what it means to "queer" or "trans" visual and performance-based media. It offers an interdisciplinary investigation of queer and trans representation, and both the possibilities and limitations of positive images and mainstream LGBTQ visibility. It also examines how visual productions of trans and queer identities are produced alongside and through racial, ethnic, religious, regional, and class identities. In connection with course readings, students will study film, photography, painting, installation, and performance art.
