| Inhalt | Our language and everyday practices, such as ordering a new passport (in CH), ask us to identify as either female or male; but what about non-binary people? Literature has long taught us that gender is far from fixed let alone dichotomous. We will explore texts that undermine the heteronormative discourse and tackle topics such as gender fluidity and sexuality. Our discussion will begin with Virginia Woolf's canonical novel "Orlando" and end with contemporary explorations of gender. We will read novels, short stories and poems as well as theory to acquire a profound understanding of gender's complexity. |
| Lernziele | Students will deepen their knowledge of gender/queer theories and refine their critical reading skills. The thematic focus on gender allows them to draw comparisons between the texts and to help them identify gender's multiple facets. |
