Performance and Communication Arts 315 - Gender and Communication

Institution:

St Lawrence University

Subject:

Description:

Gender encompasses the ways in which our culture and society construct performative expectations around our sex. We do not possess gender; gender is a social process. It is negotiated, it is cultural, it is complicated, and it is enacted. Communication and gender are, therefore, inextricably linked. And how, when, with whom and about what we communicate are linked to cultural scripts around gender. All of our communications have a gendered component and all gender performances are, by definition, communicative. In this course, we explore some of the many contexts, media and modalities in and through which communication and gender intersect. We examine both how we perform gender and how we become gendered through the processes of social interaction. Prerequisite: PCA 127 or GNDR 103.
