Inhaltliches
Students will be introduced to Queer Theory as a field that addresses the ways in which contested gender and sexual norms play an important role in shaping culture and society as a whole. The class also explores the ways in which key figures within Queer Studies have refused to study gender or sexuality in isolation from other axes and hierarchies of difference or from contemporary forms of capital accumulation and nationalism.
Students will critically engage with key works by Michel Foucault, Judith Butler, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, José Esteban Muñoz, Kadji Amin, and others.
• Explore Queer Theory’s claim that a critical engagement with heterosexual culture and the binary organization of gender is central to understanding contemporary culture and society
• Gain a good understanding of the genealogy of Queer Theory
• Critically explore some of Queer Theory’s key theoretical and conceptual contributions
• Engage critically with some of the field-defining works of major Queer Theory scholars
• Understand some of the central debates within Queer Theory
