Description
With this course, students will be introduced to some of the most prominent themes and issues connected to the representation of LGBTQ2SA+ individuals in French cinema as well as on television. This course is not intended as a historical survey of the evolution of the representation of LGBTQ2SA+ individuals, as the works studied span the period from the 1990s to the present time. The focus of this course is to introduce students to the various meanings of ‘queer’ by showcasing some prominent contemporary films/made for TV movies and directors while observing how the various representations offered are tied to the concept of “sexual citizenship” in a French context. Through the readings selected for this course, students will gain awareness of some of the specificities and idiosyncrasies of French culture and French Republicanism when it comes to the recognition of gender and sexual diversity.
Prerequisite(s): FREN 106.3, FREN 122.3, FREN 125.3, FREN 212.3, WGST 112.3, or permission of the instructor.
