Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
This seminar considers the sometimes controversial topic of sex work as it is portrayed in English-language literature and film. Recognising that, historically, sex workers have been frequently coded within literature using negative stereotypes of dangerous transgressives on the one hand, and passive victims on the other, we will consider the extent to which these negative images are replicated and reinforced within contemporary culture. We will, however, also ask if, and how, they can be challenged and subverted, and consider how representations vary across different media and cultural contexts (UK/USA/SA). Drawing on readings from intersectional feminisms, queer theory, and transgender-rights movements, themes for discussion will include literary and visual representations of class, race, gender, and sexuality, alongside motherhood and disease, criminalisation and regulation, violence and harassment, and trafficking and migration.
