RegisterCourse Overview
Our Representations of Gender, Love and Sexuality short course will explore the various ways in which gender, love and sexuality have been represented and performed at different times, in different cultural contexts and within different cultural media.
Taking this course will help you understand the reasons for these differences in cultural production. You will learn about the socio-historical contexts in which the texts were produced, and the social and cultural norms to which they were responding and reacting.
By the end of the course you will be able to understand some of the key concepts from psychoanalytic, gender, post-colonial and political theory which relate to these issues and will be encouraged to make these critical perspectives productive for your own interpretive practice.
Assessment is via a 1.5-hour in-class test (50%) and 2500-word essay (50%).
This can be taken as a standalone short course or as part of:
