Writing with Performance: Politics of Love credit:

3 Hours

How do we tell the truth about love? What does love have to do with performances on stage, in everyday life, and social and cultural politics? To critically consider the theoretical, performative, cultural, and social manifestations of love, we will turn to texts moving across theory, poetry, dramatic literature to aesthetic sites like live performance, performance art, music, and visual culture to analyze diverse ways of seeking and giving affection. Same as AAS 494 , ENGL 494 , GWS 494 , and THEA 484 . 3 undergraduate hours. No graduate credit.
