Modernism Section Info: Sexuality, Literature, Film: An Introduction to the History of Sexuality since 1774 In English! A seminar on the history of sexuality through the analysis of exemplary literary texts and films. This seminar looks at narrative discussions of sexuality in their societal and cultural contexts; special attention will be paid to the gendered, racial and ethnic connotations in the depiction of sexual behavior. Methodologically the course will take the ideas of Michel Foucault with his constructionist view of sexuality as its point of departure, but it will also seek to question the premises of his thinking by discussing the work of critics responding to Foucault from a variety of perspectives. Texts and films for this class are from a variety of national and cultural traditions. All readings and screenings will be in English. Authors to be discussed include: Goethe, de Sade, Kleist, Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, Arthur Schnitzler, Marcel Proust, Thomas Mann, Jean Giono, Jean Rhys, Christa Wolf, and Pramoedya Ananta Toer. Films to be discussed include: The Horseman on the Roof, Eyes Wide shut, The Dreamers, The Closet, and Wide Sargasso Sea. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
