Communication 697P - ST- On Citizenship & Belonging

This course looks at the arrangements and experiences of normative citizenships and belongings from the perspective of those excluded from them, namely those whose subjectivities, bodies, identities and relations place them outside the bounds of the norm. We will, then, take a decolonial and performance approach to citizenships and belongings, centering intersectionality, resistance, counterpublics, and worldmakings, as we examine the narratives, creativity, aesthetics, and embodiments of POC, queer, trans, working class, migrant, and others who forge alternate intimacies, citizenships and belongings. Course work will include, but will not be limited to, nontraditional, creative, and experimental writing, performance, and other practices that draw from and constitute non-normative knowledge production and embodiment.
