Madrid Summer Session Summer Program - May 19 to July 2, 2011
Sexualities and Social Life in Spain (QSX/SOC 400 / 600) provides an introduction to the transnational and multidisciplinary fifi eld of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Studies and an exploration of sexuality in Spain. We will begin by looking at sexuality and gender studies broadly so that we have some shared theoretical and historical concepts with which to work. Then, we will focus on the immense changes Spain has gone through in a very short period of time – from an agricultural society to an urban one, from a dictatorship to a democracy – and how those changes intersect with gender, sexuality, and social life.
In this course, we will explore such questions as: How do sexual and gender identities come to be named and claimed in different times and places? Are masculinity and femininity practiced in the same way in Spain and the U.S.? What is it like to be LGBT in Spain, what is LGBT life like, and where does it happen? How do folks name themselves and how are they represented on TV, in fifi lm, and through youth culture? How are LGBT persons and issues discussed in the newspapers, presented in churches, and defifi ned by the government? Why did Spain, a country with a long Catholic tradition, make same sex marriage legal? What values in English culture and history might have made such a radical outcome possible? How might we study sexuality from different disciplinary and national perspectives? The course features
fifi Within eld trips to Barcelona and Madrid and Andalucia. [...]
