ENG 941

Gender and Sex in Literature and Culture

In literature, advertising, and online - we are surrounded by representations that both enable and prescribe how we interpret gender and sex. This course explores how popular culture, inter-personal communication, literature, and film construct gender, sexuality, and desire. From conventional notions of masculinity and femininity, to the emergence of categories such as transgendered, students will consider the cultural, social, and political influences that contribute to how we imagine ourselves as gendered beings.
