Cele kształcenia: | Module aim: The course introduces to the general characteristics of contemporary queer studies as source of analytical tools for interpreting literature, art, film and generally – culture. For this reason, it has several basic goals. First, it will present a map of basic concepts and categories within queer theory. Especially theoretical concepts of Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick (for example: homosocial desire, homosexual panic, homosocialities, masculinities, feminities, affects, shame, gender perfomativity). Secondly, course will present important queer motives in Eastern and Central European culture and history as well as LGBT emancipation, rise of homophobia, especially since 1989. Thirdly - in this historical and methodological context, Eastern European (especially Polish), art and literature will be presented (W. Gombrowicz, D. Masłowska, M. Witkowski, K. Radziszewski etc). |
