T D 357T / LAS 328 / WGS 335 QUEER AND TRANS PERFORMANCE PERFORMANCE
(if TD section is full, try to add cross-listed courses)
What makes a performance queer or trans*? How are queer and trans* performers proposing novel artistic expressions? By surveying a wide range of contemporary artists from the Americas, this course offers a hemispheric look at queer and trans* performance by paying close attention to localized identities and socio-cultural contexts. Drawing from case studies in theatre, dance, performance art, and nightlife, we will explore the ways performance serves as an alternative space for expression and worldmaking and as a site of activism and resistance for queer and trans* people. Although the critical analysis of gender and sexuality will be at the core of our discussions, students will also utilize intersecting frameworks to approach the work of artists from Latin/x, African and/or Indigenous descent. Using methods and theoretical approaches from fields such as performance studies, critical race theory, Indigenous studies, and gender and sexuality studies, students will develop skills in performance analysis and interpretation. At the end of the semester, students will be versed in a diverse corpus of artistic works and tools that will enhance their academic writing and research skills.
