Feminist, Queer and Trans Performance (TPS-0242)

Fall 2024 · TPS 0242 · Tufts University · 3 credits · Undergraduate

If gender and sexuality, as embodied social categories, significantly inform how we become legible, how and to what ends do performers use bodies and their environments to transform, question, obscure, and expand what we understand as human, or even a body? This class draws on critical race, disability, indigenous, and postcolonial scholars who ask how power, pleasure, and violence are distributed and accessed via the management of gender and sexuality. It pairs these critical texts with artistic works to examine how queer, trans, and feminist theories are made in the flesh.
