ENG 184: Literature and Queer Studies


Units: 4

Introduces key topics and themes in the field of queer studies through literary works and visual texts including novels, short stories, memoirs, films, performance, and popular media. Topics include expressions and representations of the sexual selves in early queer literature; politics of identity and subjectivity; oppressions such as heterosexism, homophobia, and transphobia; queer activism; queer art. Read a diverse range of queer literature to examine what it means to be LGBTQ+ in the vastly globalized world today, particularly the ways in which sexual identities intersect with gender, race, ethnicity, disability, indigeneity, and so on.
