MS149S PO - Street Theories, Precarious Desires (CP)When Offered: Last offered spring 2015.
Instructor(s): J.Hall
Credit: 1
Focuses on ways in which desires and sexualities fail to conform to theories thereof and on those media expressions that engender new theories of desire that are of, about and from the street. Key conceptual modules include precarity, community media, public fantasy & intimacy, social (in)difference, sex and its legislation, queer street community and social (il)legibility. The course looks at these terrains in both historical & contemporary and local & global perspectives. The course is strongly tied to community exploration and community partnership with queer, street and activist precarity in Pomona and Los Angeles. Anarchist, neo-Marxist and queer materialist positions are emphasized. Street internships, oral histories, educational outreach and collaborative performance are possible parts of the student experience in this course. Letter grade only. Prerequisites: One course in Media Studies or Gender & Women’s Studies. May be repeated twice for credit.
