- Class Description:
- The contemporary forces of cultural, economic, and political globalization continue to alter and redefine conceptualizations of sexuality and gender. How do we situate cultural, geographical, and historical understandings of sexuality while remaining attentive to homophobic, oppressive, and violent state and individual practices? We will pay particular attention to how ?oppression? is often posited through a liberal human rights framework. This class fosters an interdisciplinary discussion through queer, feminist, and postcolonial theory, globalization studies, literature, film, and ethnography. We will examine concepts of identity, sexual practices and queerness in relation to formulations of the local-global, nations, the transnational, diaspora, community, borders, margins, urban-rural. The course is divided into three sections: representation and iconographies of transnational sexualities; issues around activism, law and citizenship; and finally a survey of current dilemmas and debates within transnational sexuality studies. This course satisfies the Global Perspectives Theme in the Liberal Education Requirements with its transnational, interdisciplinary focus on the particular issue of sexuality. Keywords: sexuality, gender, transnational, immigration, race, globalization, desire, exoticism, sex work, HIV/AIDS, human rights, tourism, space, homonationalism, pinkwashing.
