GWSS 100 Queer and Trans Memoir 6 credits
From Audre Lorde’s biomythography detailing black lesbian life in 1950s Harlem, to Andy Warhol’s famous-for-more-than-fifteen-minutes pop art star diaries, Alison Bechdel’s tragicomic comic books, Chelsea Manning’s whistleblower tell-all, or Carmen Maria Machado’s experimental memoir about same sex domestic abuse, LGBTQ+ autobiographical works provide us with richly subjective, historically situated insights into the lived experiences of queer and trans individuals. Interdisciplinary in scope, this course considers a variety of LGBTQ+ takes and twists on the memoir genre, including photo diaries; video selfies; illustrated works; self-ethnographies; life-as-art performances; stand-up specials; auto theoretical works; and literary or lyrical forms centering on the personal.
Held for new first year students
