GNDR/SEXLTY/JPN:LIT,FILM,ANIME

This course explores how writers have dealt with issues of gender and sexuality from the Heian Period through the modern era. Drawing on literary sources as well as film, anime, and manga, we will analyze how gender and sexuality have been represented over 1,000 years in Japan. Examination of different media and texts from different historical moments illuminates how the notions of gender and sexuality have transformed over time as well as how the intersection of gender and sexuality manifests in these stories. All readings, lecture, discussion, and writing will be in English.

Performing Modernity

(Offered as SPAN 242, EUST 252, and THDA 150.)  Spain’s recent past has been characterized by its anxiety over becoming a modern European nation. Playwriting has responded by dealing with topics such as drug use, sexualities, youth culture, and social problems. This course examines the social, historical and cultural transformation Spain has undergone over the last thirty years. We will read plays by José Luis Alonso de Santos, Juan Mayorga, Paloma Pedrero and Alfredo Sanzol among others.
