In this interdisciplinary course, students will be introduced to key themes and critical frameworks in the interrelated fields of LGBT and Queer studies within a francophone and anglophone context. Through graphic novels, topical magazines, journals, and media, as well as personal, fictional, and historical accounts of LGBTQI+ francophone expression, students will learn to interrogate conceptions of gender, sex, the body, and sexuality; will explore the politics of sexuality and sexual identity; will survey diverse expressions of sexuality, activism, and community; and will consider the reception/application of Queer studies in France. Particular attention will be paid to the ways in which sexual identities intersect with and shape other categories of identity, including gender, race, religion, class, culture and nationality.
