Imperialism and Sexual Politics in the Global South
3.0
creditsAverage Course Rating
This course investigates the relationship between capitalism, imperialism, gender, and sexuality. Imperialism and Sexual Politics in the Global South will introduce students to major debates about sexual and gendered minorities in African, Asian, Central-Eastern European, and Latin American societies, from the 19th century to the present day. Students are encouraged to challenge preconceived notions about so-called universal concepts, identities, modes of action, and political claims actually developed in the West, while critically engaging with their circulations and appropriation by some actors in the Global South. In addition to an analysis of specific identities (homosexual, gay, queer, trans, LGBT, and... Straight Heterosexual), this course will also interrogate the very notions of "gender" and "sexuality": are they always significant as structures of power over space and time.
