Focusing on contemporary Asian American literature, film, and popular culture, this course emphasizes a diverse range of engagements with gender and sexuality that disrupts binary thinking on the topic. Through close analysis of cultural texts, students will examine the formation of Asian American genders and sexualities alongside histories of racialization, migration, and labor. Texts may include: Monique Truong'sThe Book of Salt, David Henry Hwang'sM Butterfly, R. Zamora Linmark'sRolling the R's, Justin Lin'sBetter Luck Tomorrow, as well as episodes ofBattlestar Galacticaand24. We will also read critical essays by Gayatri Gopinath, David Eng, Yen Le Espiritu, Karen Tongson, Lisa Nakamura, and Martin Manalansan.
