Challenging the heterosexist confines of representation <\/strong><\/p>\n

lit\/cult, sem, 2, Gender MA, ANG-MA-SZ13<\/em> MA Thesis-related seminar
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this thesis related seminar designed for second year MA students specialised in gender studies we shall interpret the cultural construction of identity in terms of enworlded, embodied discursive performances, and explore how ideologically prescribed narratives are organised by the hegemonic logic of heterosexual reproductive masterplot of \u201cfamily romance\u201d, and how subversive feminist counter-narrative practices \u2013 ranging from female gothic, to feminist metafiction, and gender- and genre bending transmedia storytelling \u2013 may challenge ready-made representational confines. Our aim is to discover, along the lines of Judith Roof\u2019s feminist narratological activist agenda, how sexuality and narrative can be disentangled to reclaim voices for the silenced othered, and alter oppressive socio-political practices. Grading is based on classroom activity, reading journals, presentations, and a final essay.<\/p>\n
