Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course provides an overview over representations of gender difference in selected literary texts from the early modern period to the present. We shall analyse historical differences in the conceptualisation of gender as well as discuss contemporary theoretical perspectives by Judith Butler and Jack Halberstam. We will concentrate on the ways in which literary genres invoke normative conceptions of gender roles as well as on the strategies through which authors and readers/audiences challenge them and project gender as a fluid category of identity. The seminar introduces important techniques of academic work (preparing, structuring and giving presentations, giving response, writing academic essays).
