Course Description:
This course explores the representations and regulations of non-normative sexual practices in the Arab world, with a focus on the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The course is interdisciplinary in scope. In addition to queer studies and a variety of theoretical underpinnings, our readings range from literature, history, sociology, anthropology, as well as media and cultural studies. We will explore issues related to identity, power, and resistance especially in the context of (post) Arab Spring. No knowledge of Arabic language is required. This course may count toward majors/minors in WMGS, INTS and Arabic studies. |
