Queerness-Experience-Politics

In this course, we will interrogate the intersections between queer theory and politics using the interpretive lens of experience: What is queer theory, and how does it intersect with politics? Is there something such as "queer experience," and how is it expressed politically? Is "the queer" always already political and, if so, is queerness always a radical and subversive standpoint? Or, has queerness become a normalized identity? We will focus on texts that are phenomenologically rooted in experience-the experience of politics, of the body, of desire, of identity.
