Bates College

Subject:

Description:

What happens to identity when we move beyond conventional definitions of space, region, territory, or nation What happens when a hybrid or mestiza subject defies traditional categories of nationality, ethnicity, race, or gender This seminar explores the fluid, unpredictable dynamic of "borderlands," those places where identity and relationships are always in process. The course raises questions about representations and expressions of those who inhabit the borderlands-women of color, of mixed heritage, of multiple nationality-in order to reconceptualize notions of the self. Prerequisite(s): one women and gender studies or literature course. Enrollment limited to 20. C. Aburto Guzmán, M. Rice-DeFosse.
