Section Info:
Topic: "Transnational Sexualities." Meets with AAS 490 and GWS 490. How are sexualities viewed differently as people and ideas cross national borders? How can our understandings of nations and races affect the way that sexuality is seen at home and abroad? How can the rhetoric of sexuality be used to justify and make sense of war? This course is designed to investigate the ways in which sexual identities change as national contexts change, as borders are crossed, and as definitions of race and gender shift. The course interrogates how national identities, modernities, and colonial narratives are built on ideas of racialized sexualities, and, as such, is particularly interested in the study of the queer diaspora. Areas of inquiry will include imperialism, immigration, war, tourism and globalization.
