Advanced seminar
SoSe 23: Queer Literature
Birte Wege
Comments
In this seminar, we will examine key works of queer prose literature of the twentieth century, as well as select queer theory readings. We will discuss literary classics which may be familiar from courses not focused on queer writing, such as Djuna Barnes’ modernist masterpiece ‘Nightwood’ and James Baldwin’s ‘Giovanni’s Room.’ The main focus, however, will be on less mainstream works that explore queer subcultures from the pre-Stonewall era to the experiences of the AIDS pandemic. Authors discussed will include John Rechy, Audre Lorde, Leslie Feinberg, Jane Rule, and Gore Vidal. There will also be a section on genre writing, including queer themed crime, horror, and science fiction. close
