There will be class discussion and oral reports. I mean ideas and representations of maleness and femaleness, manhood, womanhood, femininity and masculinity, ideas of queering or destabilizing gender binaries, uses of female, male, and ambiguous figures in poetry, gender ideologies and their social and theoretical resonance, sexualities, and debates around sexuality in modernity, including issues of representation. Attendance at their readings is required. Sam Delany Students will hand in stories, which will be photocopied so that each student can take the story home, read it, make careful notes, and come in prepared to discuss the story in a round-robin setting, where each student is expected to comment. Students will be expected to hand in at least three sizable contributions.
Attendance is mandatory.
