PER 455 - Sexual Politics in Drama
Credit(s): 3
This course will look at the theme of sexual politics as it appears in dramatic literature from Ancient Greece through modern times. We will examine the myths, games, and realities of sexual politics, and how they interact with the performance of gender and sexuality. We will discuss and write about drama as a unique genre, exploring through dramatic texts the evolution of sexual politics. After completing this course, a student should have an understanding of 1) the development of theatrical styles of Greek and Renaissance theatre and the rise of Realism; 2) how sexual roles are performed by real people (on and off-stage); 3) how to analyze a dramatic text and its historical/social context; 4) what the term “sexual politics” means and how it is visible in dramatic texts and performances of the past and present. Offered odd years. FA
