CLL 151 - (LT) Studies in Literature: Queer(ing) Roman(ce)
Semester Hours: 3Students will perform a queer reading of medieval French romance by authors such as Chrétien de Troyes, as well as read the 20th-century queer novel, Genet’s Querelle. In addition to offering a primer in queer theory and a classic of queer literature, this approach also provides an opportunity to tackle the question of genre: What is a romance? What is a novel? Can this distinction even be sustained in a romance language?
