IN 108 - First Year Seminar: Love and EroticismCredits: 4
Examines representations of love, sexuality, and gender in Western culture in light of postmodern critiques of Western knowledge. One important critique of Western knowledge is that it excludes, marginalizes, exoticizes, or stereotypes the Other. In this course, students read a Western canonical work on love, sexuality, and/or gender, and then re-examine it through a lens informed by Postmodern Theory, Feminist Theory, Queer Theory, or Postcolonial Theory. These theories give us tools to interrogate the dominant perspectives and power structures presented in the canonical works and to consider marginal perspectives and alternative power structures.
