Literature 2192 - Queer Theory

Institution:

Bard College

Subject:

Description:

GSS To engage in queer theory is to challenge the conventional practices and assumptions of a sexuality-blind discipline or practice and to enlist a wide variety of languages and forms to shed light on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender culture and history. If queer theory takes its point of departure from the feminist studies of the '70s and '80s, it enlists the traditions ofactivism, historical narrative, radical critiques of gender, and changing attitudes toward intersex individuals. Students refine their understanding of sexuality and gender within today's culture.
