FGSS 326 |
What are the relationships among textuality, temporality, and sexuality? The course will explore this question by analyzing a range of literary, visual, and critical works from the early 20th century to the present day. Reading several iconic modernist texts as well as contemporary queer literary, visual, and theoretical works, we will pay attention figurations of time and to the time of reading; to theories, practices, and representations of history; to forms of embodiment and narratives of physical transformation and duress, in modernist fictions and in narratives about AIDS. We will ask, How do these texts engage with repetition, retrospection, anachronism, simultaneity, and/or seriality? What kinds of temporal experiences characterize grief, passion, illness, sleep, activism, regret, reading, and writing? |
