Space, place and gender have been key topics in areas such as architecture, law, history, sociology, urban studies, area studies, literary criticism, cultural studies, film studies, and gender; and the class will draw from those various disciplines. Students will address the issue of gender, place and space through a variety of disciplinary approaches, investigating a wide range of real and imagined places and spaces, including masculine spaces, feminine spaces, queer spaces, or virtual spaces; spaces such as the home, the office, the railroad, the apartment, the skyscraper, the museum, the store, the church; the urban, the rural, the suburban; spaces as represented in various texts and discourses; uses of space; theories of space, and more. The course will pay particular attention to how space and place are produced and negotiated as spaces of fantasy in mid-20th century American films and popular literature, including the films Baby Face, How to Succeed in Business, The Boys in the Band, The Killing of Sister George, All That Heaven Allows, That Funny Feeling, The Lady Vanishes, and Rear Window; and the novels, The Girls in 3B, The Women's Room, Fear of Flying, The Fountainhead, The Best of Everything.
