ENG 183: Literature and Queer Ecology
Units: 4
Examines the blooming field of queer ecology through reading literature. Introduces key debates, themes, and concerns of queer ecology, including ecofeminism, biopolitics, animal studies, posthumanism, etc. Explores how literature challenges the dualist understandings of “natural and unnatural,” “human and not human,” “life and matter,” how literature lays bare and destabilizes the heteronormative association of “natural and heterosexual,” and how literature has the power to intervene in the real-world environmental issues. Aims to provide a refreshing perspective for students to reexamine the relationship between nature and the human world.
