Masculinities In/As Performance

4-None

Upper division seminar exploring the intersection of multiple masculinities IN performance (dance, theater, performance art, film/TV, internet platforms, and more), and AS performance. Topics include maleness/masculinity as a social construct, considerations of masculinity in adolescent development and pedagogy, implications of race and class: marginalized masculinities, female masculinity, trans-masculinity, and more. These lenses are then employed to consider how masculinity forms identity and frames representation in various performative platforms.
