| FYSE 1028 - Identity/Difference |
|
*Identity and Difference*
How do we use categories of identity and difference? How does culture determine how we perceive and perform gender and ethnic identity: male/female, gay/straight, East/West, black/white? We will look at constructions of gender and sexual identity in various cultures and consider how they intersect with national and ethnic identity. Literature and film will be our primary focus. We will read Euripides’ /Bacchae/, Forster’s /Passage to India/, and Hwang’s /Madame Butterfly/ and view films like /Kiss of the Spiderwoman/ and /Europa Europa/ that problematize sexual and gender identity. 3 hrs. sem.
