PMA 1180
FWS: Femininities: Representation, Performance and Politics

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2024-2025.

Femme, female, girl, woman, queen, sis, fem. There are myriad names for feminine identities, but how shall we feel, read and talk about the making of femininity? In addition, how is femininity made through its relations with transness, race, diaspora, sexuality, aging, and colonialism? How do we see and sense femininity with regards to its neighboring concepts such as vulnerability, sexual passivity, and beauty? By examining cultural works including performances of non-binary drag queens; theatre on female masochism; cinema on sex work and racialized femininity, we inquire into the dynamic making of femininities that does a critical work of queer, trans, feminist, and racial politics. The writing assignments will include film and performance analysis, critical reading response, and autoethnography.

When Offered Fall.
