HUM 390AZ - Queer Theory

Institution:

Antioch University-Los Angeles

Subject:

Description:

The recent radical reappropriation of the term "queer" has signified a move towards provocative and innovative theoretical and political ends. At the same time it constitutes a move away from the essentialism of gay and lesbian identity politics. This workshop charts some of the discourses related to the emergence of queer theory (homophile movements, the women's movement, gay liberation and lesbian feminism) and articulates some of the challenges queer theory presents in its call for new ways of conceptualizing and living out sex, gender, sexuality and identity. No grade equivalents allowed. HUMANITIES DOMAIN
