Section Title: Bodies out of Place Section Info: Cultural Studies - US Minority course. How have gendered and sexed bodies been imagined in contemporary Latina/o literature and visual culture (photography, digital graphics, murals, mixed media, music videos, and cinema/tv), and how do they challenge collective, personal, and cultural images of femininity/marianismo, masculinity/machismo, LGBTQ persons, sexual behavior, desire, sex work, family/familism, and violence? We will interrogate notions of sense of place together with nationalism and immigration, race, gender, and sex, language, history and religion, and we’ll consider how these multiform artistic displacements reshape our understanding of these issues. Taught in English. Students are required to log in and use Blackboard through Compass2g (compass2g.illinois.edu) in order to complete this course.
