The course will then turn to more specifically literary issues and ask how literature is gendered, particularly along lines of genre and canonized texts. Finally, we will consider how some recent literature resists gender expectations and even challenges the category of gender itself. Although informed by feminist thought and approaches, our class will not espouse an overt political agenda or political purpose; rather, we will see assigned tests as an opportunity to become more perceptive and purposeful readers.
