CHM T215 | 18/19 | Queer Literary Resistance “Queer Literary Resistance” is the theme of our LGBTQ+ literature capstone. This course seeks to introduce readers to a range of LGBTQ+ texts: American, British, Asian, and Native American. These works reveal something of their cultures’ understanding of same-sex, non-heterosexual, transgender and queer subject positions or identifications, and all enact some form or forms of stylistic and representational resistance in order to write about queer experience. The course will likely include, but not be limited to, the following texts: Maurice by E. M. Forster, The Well of Loneliness by Radclyffe Hall, Zami by Audre Lorde, Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg, Bestiary by K-Ming Chang, Real Life by Brandon Taylor. Likely Assignments: one 5-page essay; one 10-12 research essay; one annotated bibliography |
