The interdisciplinary course is designed to look at the GLBT people in South Asia, especially in India and Pakistan from the perspectives of history and society. It will see how and to what extent the concerning issues and debates are different from the European, or, for that matter, American discourses on the topic. Furthermore, apart from discussing the role of cultural groups, NGOs, the media in this debate, the course will have a look at the medico-psychological problems of these communities as well as the health-related questions. Similarly, while crossing over the religious injunctions the course will make a comparative analysis of the phenomena in the two countries.Alongside studying a wide-range of interdisciplinary texts, we will read two pieces of short fiction from Urdu and Hindi (in English/German translations) as well as we will watch two feature films (with German/English sub-titles) both from India and Pakistan on the topic.
