WGST 104 - Sexuality and Literature

2 credits
This course examines how sexuality is articulated and mediated through literature and such modes of cultural production as film and two-dimensional art. Attention will be paid to specific iterations of sexuality and the labels that attend them (e.g., gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual). We will address theories of sexuality and study such authors as Jeanette Winterson, Mark Doty, Edmund White, Hart Crane, Cherrie Moraga, Gloria Anzaldua, and Michael Cunningham. The course may additionally encompass how sexuality intersects with ethnicity, science and politics. Amount of credit established at time of registration. Offered in alternate spring semesters.
