TAPS 1420 - Global Queer Performance

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

What is queer performance from a global perspective? Within the U.S., this might refer to theater, visual and sonic practices, or styles of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender writ large. In the world outside the U.S., such an identitarian narrative has gained some traction through the discourse of global queering, which renders an understanding of same-sex formations through Pride Parades, pink-dollar tourism, gay marriage and Western-LGBT cultures. There is, however, much debate as to what queer means, and how it translates. This course uses queer performance to consider how we might understand sexual minorities in the U.S. and the world. Not open to first year students. Enrollment limited to 20 students. WRIT
