GNDR 3720 - RaceGndrSex Carib Cult

Institution:

University of Utah

Subject:

Gender Studies

Description:

This course examines the intersections of gender, sexuality and race in the production of social meanings, identities, relations of power and representations in multi-ethnic Caribbean culture. It does this through the examination of scholarly work, literature, media and popular culture (e.g. calypso, dancehall, carnival, punta rock, salsa, chutney, etc.). From an inter- and multidisciplinary and transnational perspective with attention to both the discursive and material, it explores the historical roots and contemporary manifestations of gender, sexuality and race within a diverse and ever-changing Caribbean cultural terrain. It considers how cultural constructions of gender, sexuality and race define the collective and individual identities of Caribbean people. The course also explores how intersecting relations of power between and among, differently identified groups are produced, practiced or performed in areas of the family, spirituality, media and the body.
