WGS 3300 - Gendering Partition Cultures

The course explores how partitions impose anti-pluralist forms of abstract citizenship through cultural analysis of gender dynamics of the everyday and its mimetic representations. Territoriality and spatial arrangements will be examined through the problematics of familial and communal subject formation, traumatic memories, ethnic resistance and assimilation, and border-crossing, while also considering gender, sex, race, and religion. Prerequisites: Instructor Permission.
