ENGH302

Investigates literary representations of gender and sexuality in the twentieth- and twenty-first centuries. Considers provocative issues like the relationship between gender/sex and power, the links between violence and inequality, and the connections between art and politics through encounters with novels, graphic fiction, poetry, and essays, as well as some visual art and films. Attending to gender, sexuality, race, class, nationality, religion, and environment as categories of analysis, students will have the opportunity to reflect on beauty and the body, immigration and citizenship, feminism and women's movements, home and identity, and creativity and social change.
