GWS 189A PO - Critical Trans/national MasculinitiesWhen Offered: Fall 2017.
Instructor(s): R. Kumar.
Credit: 1
This course explores the meaning of masculinity and the making of men as men. There is not one version of masculinity but rather multiple masculinities engendered by colonialism, race, class, nationality, sexuality, disability and minority subcultures. As such, we will be conducting an intersectional and feminist exploration into how masculinities are embodied and lived out transnationally. Fatness, disability, female and transgender masculinities, along with other kinds of marginalized masculinities, will be the primary focus of our study. Thus this course will also centrally engage masculinities’ entanglement with femininity and effeminacy, and will critically examine the binary imaginations that undergird gender. The course is interdisciplinary and will use popular cultural texts, history, ethnographies, creative writing, art, and autobiography to aid our exploration.
