ENGL 3227 (3) Sex in Shakespeare's Time

It¿s easy to think about the 1500s and 1600s as a time of starched ruffs, strict morals, and silenced women. This class seeks to complicate this story by asking how Renaissance Englishmen and -women wrote about and imagined sex. Studying drama, poetry, recipes, letters, ballads, and more, we¿ll explore an erotic landscape full of surprises. How did women describe their desire for other women? Was heterosexual intercourse between consenting partners the norm? In what ways could writers express a desire for intimacy with the dead, or nature, or man-made objects? Could they experience asexuality? Did Renaissance authors recognize or celebrate trans identities? We¿ll pursue these questions and more, inviting each other to test out new ways of reading, writing, and sharing our ideas as a community.

Surveys the artistic practices and innovations of Asian American novelists, poets, and filmmakers. Through literary and cultural studies, history, and historiography, we will explore the ways that Asian Americans have worked within and against genres of sentimental fiction, realism, postmodernism, memoir, and the graphic novel. Our starting point is Lisa Lowe¿s assertion in Immigrant Acts that Asian American culture is: a site that shifts and marks alternatives to the national terrain by occupying other spaces, imagining different narratives and critical historiographies, and enacting practices that give rise to new forms of subjectivity and new ways of questioning the government of human life by the national state. Thus, we will approach Asian American literature itself as theory, historiography, and socio-historical practice as well as art.
