Queer Studies (Advanced Introduction) (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Ben Trott

Termin:
wöchentlich | Montag | 16:15 - 17:45 | 02.04.2024 - 05.07.2024 | C 7.013 Seminarraum

Inhalt: This advanced introduction does not assume any prior familiarity with Queer Studies, but it is aimed at Cultural Studies students who already have some acquaintance with the critical theories on which Queer Studies draws, including post-structuralist, materialist and feminist approaches. Over the course of the semester, students will encounter Queer Studies as a field that addresses the ways in which contested gender and sexual norms play an important role in shaping society as a whole. The seminar will also explore 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. The course will explore some of the works by Michel Foucault, Judith Butler and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick that are seen as having helped found the field of Queer Studies as well as some more recent contributions by Kadji Amin on new queer, trans and asexual ‘taxonomies’. Students will also participate in an excursion to the Schwules Museum to an exhibit exploring the relationship between sex work and queer cultures and to public lectures by international scholars working on questions of gender and sexuality.
