We will pay special attention to social and historical contexts and try to understand the function of transvestites, hermaphrodites, castrati and other gender benders in these documents. We will also read selections from Thomas Laqueur�s Making Sex and Londa Schiebinger�s The Mind Has No Sex? To help us understand how biology and science are used to construct and justify gender identity at various historical moments. This course therefore has particular relevance to current debates about gender and sexual identity, marriage, reproductive rights, etc. Restriction(s): Restricted to Undergrad - Urbana-Champaign.
