Topic: Lit studies and philosophy
Topic: Coming into Visibility: Recognition, Abstraction, Opacity. What happens when something becomes visible? What do we gain and what do we lose? How are the terms and experiences of clarity and legibility related to the sensorial event of visibility? These questions will guide our exploration in this course, where we will move across philosophy, psychoanalysis, art criticism, black studies, indigenous studies, literature, and film/video to think about strategies of presenting or hiding something from the senses, and more specifically, from view. The class dynamics will combine lectures, discussion, and student presentations. The major assignments are: a weekly class journal, presentation of a text, and a final research paper or creative project + reflection.

Topic: Sexuality and the arts
"Sexuality and the Arts" Critical sexuality studies emerged as a way to study the many ways power and the body collide, including race, gender, sexuality, and size. In this class we seek to understand sex/sexuality and how it is represented and functions within literature, art, music, theatre, and film. Even though we are going to examine various genres¿our inquiry will be grounded within the discipline of performance studies as a means to center the body as the key signifier and actor of sexuality. We will read and examine texts from a variety of cultures and historical contexts; students will be encouraged to put course materials in conversation with their own specialties and interests. NOTE: Students should be aware that many of the texts in this course are sexual in nature, sometimes explicit or violent, and often deal with difficult situations, viewpoints, histories, and traumas
