Gender & Sexuality in Brazilian Culture.

Catalog description

This course focuses on representations of gender and sexuality in the Luso-Brazilian world. We will examine how representations of these issues arise from Luso-Brazilian history and affect contemporary perceptions of Luso-Brazilian society. We will explore these questions through readings of Luso-Brazilian texts, mainly from the 20th and 21st centuries, as well as through Cinema. Class discussion, readings, and student papers are all in Portuguese. A laboratory fee is charged. Prerequisite: PR 2312 or PR 2318 , or permission of instructor.
