DESCRIPTION
This course considers Irish, British, and American textual and visual works from the eighteenth century up until the present that explore cultural constructs of gender and sexuality. It includes work in different genres by both prominent and lesser known writers/ artists who show that gender and sexuality might be more complex than we initially assume. In so doing, it examines a range of topics including the relationship of power and gender, the significance of body image, concepts of feminine and masculine in relation to nature, theories of the gaze. To assist in the examination of works that introduce such central human questions related to gender and sexuality, students will also read supplementary theoretical texts.
