WSTD 769 - Feminist Theory

Institution:

University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Staff. This course is designed as an introduction to theories of subjectivity in post-structuralist analysis and "dissident" sexualities as they have been inscribed in cultural/textural representations from the late 19th century to the present. Feminist critiques of sexual difference, especially as they have been informed by psychoanalysis, will be our primary methodology. We will be especially concerned with the construction of lesbian and gay "identities" and the politics of visibility for subcultural sexual minorities as they intersect historically with class, race, and gender formations.
