Topic: Queer Kinship/Asian Nam
Course NumberFLMST 370-02
Course TitleTopic: Queer Kinship/Asian Nam
DepartmentFilm Studies
CampusMount Holyoke College
Course DescriptionThis course examines alternative kinship formations in Asian North American cultural production. It will focus on the gender and sexual management of racial bodies since the nineteenth century--from the U.S. Page Law of 1875 that restricted Chinese women on the basis of their presumed sexual immorality to various forms of 'racial castration' that mediate Asian masculinities. We will consider how alternative kinship arrangements and queer cultural projects expose and/or upset the narrative assumptions embedded in heteronormative scripts of nationalism.
