LGBT 180W - Paganism and Magic

LGBTQ 180X - Gender and Sexuality in Manga, Anime & Japanese Popular Culture
This course examines the representations of gender and sexuality in Japanese pop culture, by tracing both heteronormative and queer representations (shojo, shonen, cross-dressing, gender-benders, boys’ love, girls’ love, trans, etc.) in Japanese graphic novels (manga), anime, film, theater, and other popular media. This course will take us to discussions about how these cultural practices conform or challenge socially-given identity practices, and to examinations of the complexities of gender, sex, and sexuality in Japanese society and culture.
