Description

Based on a wide range of theoretical texts from feminism, gender, and queer studies, this course will explore how literature and film offer new configurations of sexual and gender identity. We will examine representations of gender roles and power to explore the broader questions of belonging and marginality in the French-speaking world and globally. Students will become familiar with contemporary theories around the discursive construction of gender identity; reflect on the modalities of the representation of sexuality; analyze the problematization of sexual identity through the study of literary texts and films that question the representation and construction of gender.
