ART 323 - Designing Sexuality

Unit(s): 4

This course examines ways people have promoted nonconforming sexual identities through the creation, production, and use of cultural artifacts during the late-modern era. Through readings, class discussions, and research assignments, students investigate how sexual identities have been formulated, maintained, marginalized, and subverted through visual means since the turn of the nineteenth century. Students reflect upon the practices of artistic expression that have allowed the members of lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, and transgender communities to conceive and recognize unique social identities.
