WGST 304 - Advanced Studies in Sexuality and Literature4 credits
In continuing the study of and moving beyond English 33, this class 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). Emphasis on queer theory and critical thinking on sexuality. We will read such authors as Sappho, Wilde, Gilbert and Gubar, Whitman, Ginsberg, Winterson, Doty, White, Bishop and Hart Crane. The course may focus on a specific theme or sub-genre such as speculative Utopic narratives or Race, Ethnicity & Sexuality. Course may be repeated for credit. Offered spring semester in alternate years.
