THA 319 AGQ - (Post)colonial Cinema and Asia
Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 4
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 4
Geisha, Madame Butterfly, China dolls, Arabian bazaars, exotic sampans, mysterious mountain peaks—-these are just some of the recurring images of Asia, or “the Orient,” in the European and American popular imagination. The place of Europe’s oldest, richest colonies and the U.S. military adventures and territorial expansions, Asia has become not only an integral part of the imperial West’s material culture and civilization but also its exotic, mysterious, feminine, and ultimately inferior Other. A persistent critic of the Western supremacist ideologies has been Edward Said, who refers to the West’s imperialist and masculinist constructions of the East as Orientalism, a set of terms, ideas, and principles that contain and control the Otherness of the Orient.
In what ways has the colonial West’s conceptualization of the East persisted or changed in contemporary cinema since Said’s epochal critique over four decades ago? How has Said’s notion of Orientalism been extended and modified in postcolonial and postcolonial feminist film studies? How is the Orientalist discourse reproduced, complicated, and challenged in Western and Eastern film? In what ways do race, gender, and nation intersect in Orientalist cinematic narratives? In what specific historical and geopolitical contexts do cinematic texts portray (anti-) Orientalist images and visions of Asia? In what ways are such inquiries relevant or urgent as we negotiate the complex relations between women and men as well as the East and the West in today’s cultural and geopolitical contexts?
In this course, we will explore these key critical questions and understand film as an important cultural, as well as art, form for the production, dissemination, and critique of Western European and American knowledge about genders, sexualities, and nations. Cross-listed ETHS 319

WS 207 DJQ - Introduction to LGBTQ+ Studies
Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 4
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 4
In Introduction to LGBTQ+ Studies, we start from the position that taken-for-granted systems of categorization like gender and sexuality are in fact socially developed, enforced, and reproduced such that members of societies see them as “natural.” Although these systems may be described as “social constructs,” they are quite real to the people who are categorized by them. We will rely upon sociological frameworks to better understand intragroup interactions within the broader LGBTQ+ community. Cross-listed SOC 207 DJQ

WS 209 Q - Gender & Health
Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 4
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 4
In this course, we will cover material on both the biology/physiology of individual bodies as well as the social contexts in which people with bodies must function, are viewed as “healthy” or “sick,” and navigate healthcare systems. We will pay particular attention to physiological processes and health concerns that are often understudied or dismissed due to their association with women or female-assigned people, with the recognition that any of these issues may also affect transgender, non-binary, and intersex people, and that there is no “universal experience” of womanhood, physical or social. For example, while menstruation, pregnancy, and birth disproportionately affect women, people who are not women may menstruate, become pregnant or give birth, and people who are women may be unwilling or unable to do any or all of these.
Throughout the course, we will try to highlight the experiences and needs of all people marginalized within healthcare systems and the larger society by sex and gender, including transgender folks, intersex people, and cisgender bisexual, pansexual, asexual, gay, and lesbian people. We will maintain an intersectional lens to explore how people multiply marginalized by other identities such as race, ability, size, etc. are specifically and holistically affected in terms of their health and healthcare outcomes.

We will then critically assess each movement and their respective value systems by examining women’s responses to each community from within each, both supportive and critical. Doing so will enable us to reflect on the gendered configurations of fundamentalist cultures through the gender roles that structure them, enabling us to examine underlying assumptions about masculinity and femininity that undergird these communities.
