EN 806.01 Post-Identities (Fall 2008-2009: 3)
This seminar explores the tensions surrounding notions of identity that
have divided, energized, and unnerved debates within literary and cultural
studies. We will explore its changing fortunes within critical circles
from a wide array of perspectives, focusing on theory and its relationship
to literary texts to unpack how this concept has become pivotal to understandings
of nation, racial difference, gender, sexuality, and class.
