SoSe 24: MÜ-Negotiating Gender: Shakespeare and Gender

Sabine Schülting

Comments

The course will focus on the dynamic dialogues between Gender Studies and Shakespeare’s plays and poetry. We will explore how recent theoretical approaches in Feminism, Gender, Queer, and Trans Studies shape and change our (re)readings of Shakespeare’s plays, and how they allow us to study the (de)constructions of gender and sexual identities, the performance/performativity of gender, patriarchal power and its limits, and the intersections of gender and race.


In order to ensure a focused discussion of these issues, we will concentrate on critical responses to Hamlet, Othello, The Merchant of Venice, and The Sonnets. Students should have read the three plays by the beginning of the semester.


Texts: Please use good (i.e. scholarly) editions of the plays, such as The Norton Shakespeare, The New Cambridge Shakespeare, or The Arden Shakespeare. Critical articles as well as the selection of sonnets will be available on Blackboard.


Assessment: Students will have to participate regularly, read the assigned texts, take part in the discussions, and contribute a presentation and/or short response papers.
