The Queer 80's
Section Info:
Topic Section S: The Queer 80's A number of historical accounts often view queer studies as a phenomenon originating in the early 1990s due in large part to Teresa de Lauretis?s coinage of the term ?queer theory? as the title for a conference at the University of California, Santa Cruz in 1990 and for the subsequent 1991 special issue of the journal Differences. This course, however, regards the 1980s as setting the structural foundation for what would become one of the most innovative and activist oriented fields of critical inquiry. Through an examination of literature, art, print media, music, video, and other expressive forms from Europe and the U.S., the course explores how Reagan/Thatcher-era conservatism and the emergence of the AIDS pandemic inspired various acts of cultural resistance which would in turn fuel the political impulse of queer studies.
