Section Title: Sexuality and Literature Section Info: Often we think of 'sex' and 'sexuality' as phenomena that have remained more or less the same over time and are the same all over the world. In this seminar, we challenge this view by looking at the historical contexts in which sexuality has been debated during the past three centuries, and we investigate to what extent sexuality is perceived differently in diverse cultures. Our thinking about sexuality is, in other words, very much part of the culture in which we grow up. We are in particular interested in the different forms of (in)equality shaped by discourses about sexuality. On the one hand, the history of sexuality is shaped by a modern call for equality – the right of every individual to experience sexuality in her/his/their own way. On the other hand, sexuality is often associated with practices that express major inequalities among (groups of) humans. Includes 5 bi-weekly film screenings from 5:00-7:30 PM. Restriction(s): Restricted to students with Freshman or Sophomore class standing.
