We will explore: (1) how migration by LGBTQ people has been represented (whether between urban and rural spaces, across national borders, across racialized and gendered boundaries); and (2) how certain migrations might themselves be understood as queer (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. Meets with GWS 395 Restriction(s): Not intended for Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.

Students in this course will read, analyze, and discuss works by queer Latinx writers with particular attention to the relationship between migration, sexuality, and citizenship. Though Latinx fiction leans into legal mappings of Latinx communities, queer Latinx writers make the implications of unique legal encounters for Latinx communities evident through narrative experimentations that highlight compounded legal and cultural exclusions. Analyzing representations of legal, sexual, and cultural encounters that impact queer Latinx access to the citizenry, students will investigate the cultural and literary histories that inform the ways queer Latinxs navigate the legal underpinnings of queer, Latinx, and queer Latinx life in the 21st century U.S.
