Section Title:
Queer Migrations
Section Info:
Queer Migrations: This course invites you to explore queer studies approaches to narratives of migration in fiction, memoir, and film. While we will explore how LGBTQ people have represented their own migrations -- between urban and rural spaces, across national borders, and even across time -- , we will also consider how certain migrations might themselves be understood as queer or producing queer subjects (in the sense of being non-normative). How does migration shape the entangled experiences of sexuality, race, gender, national identity, citizenship, and labor? What aesthetic choices have authors and filmmakers made in their representation of these migrations? In addition to literary texts and films, we will read selected scholarship on migration and narrative, from perspectives including queer of color critique, settler colonial studies, transnational feminist theory, queer indigenous studies, and migration studies.
