Course Description

French and francophone literature from past centuries is replete with queer and feminist literary utopias. While some French-language authors have imagined fictional places where patriarchal structures have been weakened or reversed, others have imagined worlds in which the category of gender itself has been problematized or done away with. This course introduces students to the rich and long history of such texts from the middle ages to the present. Authors and filmmakers will include Christine de Pizan, George Sand, Alice Guy, Monique Wittig, Hélène Cixous, Léonora Miano, Mati Diop, Céline Sciamma and Paul Preciado. Class taught entirely in French.
