ENGL3110 2027-28
Sex, Pleasure and African Literature
Contemporary African literature is about pleasure and beauty, as much as it is about the continent’s struggle for social justice and decolonisation. In the past two decades, African novels have won critical acclaim by telling stories about modern lives that challenge conventional understandings of gendered, embodied and sexual freedom. Such novels have expanded the global repertoire of literary forms and contributed to literary debates about modern selfhood and self-making. The module introduces you to 21st-century African texts in the forefront of these debates (and to their historical forebears), equips you with vocabularies for intersectional critical thought, and expands your ability to analyse form and genre. -

Sex, Soap Operas and Female Dissidents: Representations of Women in the Hispanic World
This course will introduce you to a range of examples of Spanish American (e.g. may include Puerto Rican,
Argentinean, and Mexican [American]) and Iberian cultural production from the period of the 1980s to the 21st century, in order to provide a sense of the variety of production in this period. The module will examine various examples of cultural production by/on women in order to explore representations of female sexuality, gender and the body. Debates surrounding identity, race and gender within a political and historical context will be examined, and the ways in which these have influenced female writers, film directors and artists. Some of these writers and artists seek to give voice to silenced experiences of women and to explore alternative articulations of identity in response to a climate of terror, oppression or violence. In order to determine their usefulness as instruments of cultural and political resistance, various texts will be placed within a broader theoretical context, particularly within the framework of the contemporary Postmodern/Postcolonial/Western/ (Post)feminist / Intersectional and Latin American feminist (literary) debate and within a broader Gender/Cultural Studies context. -

Sexual Politics: Gender History in Twentieth Century Britain
How does gender shape our lives? How does gender shape history? This course explores British from the Edwardian period to second wave feminism, through the lens of gender and sex. We will be thinking about how ordinary people’s lives were shaped by gender, and how men and women experienced Britain differently, across the twentieth century. We will take an intersectional approach to this study, exploring how gender, race and ethnicity, class, sexual identity, and other identities interacted with one another. We will also examine how ways that masculinity and femininity were constructed and reimagined in this period. There is a focus across the course on social and cultural history, and we will use a variety of primary sources including media, pop culture, fiction, material culture, and government documents to examine this complex and rewarding history. -
