WMST 349 Women and Theatre (AH) 3 credits
Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD
GFR/GER:Meets A/H. GDR:Meets H. This
course examines the issues of gender
identification as they are presented
through dramatic writing and theatre
performance. Traditionally, the female in
plays has been portrayed within the
limited roles of wife, mother, whore and
goddess. Contemporary women writers have
challenged, expanded and redefined these
roles. Plays by such writers as
Euripides, Strindberg, Shaw, Lorca,
Glaspell, Shange, and Churchill will be
studied through their historical, social
amd theatrical traditions to more fully
understand what created a context for
those earlier female images. Note: Also
listed as THTR 349. Prerequisite:
Sophomore standing.

WMST 390A Topics in Women's Studies : Queer 3 credits
Representations in Film and TV
Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD While queer
characters and subject matters seem almost
"mainstream" in American popular culture,
there was a time when such
respresentations were problematic and/or
revolutionary. In this course, armed with
an understanding of the power and images
convey in culture, we will explore the
historical and contemporary
representations of queer people in
American film and television, as well as
the ways issues of queerness have
intersected with the issues of race and
gender. Through a discussion of common
themes like "sissy" cowboys, "mannish"
lesbians, lesbian vampires and gay
killers, drag queens, AID patients, queer
parenting, transgender issues and coming
out, we will develop our own ideas of what
queer resistant cinema look like. NOTE:
Also listed as AMST 357B.
