【Course Objectives】

Through the intensive reading of literary texts, students will develop a personally/socially imaginative understanding of those who have different values and backgrounds from their own as well as enhance self-expression skills in both Japanese and English.

【Course Contents】

 This course highlights the writers who embody--or whose text addresses the issue of--sexual transgressions and attempt a close reading of their work. By the end of the course, students should be able to grasp the aesthetic as well as political implications of the ways in which sexual orientations and gender identities have been constructed and represented in American culture.
 More specifically, this course deals with American playwrights who created memorable plays from the mid- to late-twentieth century. First, we will focus on a couple of one-act plays by Tennessee Williams, one of the greatest postwar dramatists, who challenged social norms in queer terms. Next, we will attempt a close reading of Wendy Wasserstein's The Heidi Chronicles, a play that reflects the sexual liberation from the 1960s to the 1980s. Lastly, we will read David Henry Hwang's Bondage, a one-act play that dramatizes the relationship between a sadistic queen and her customer in a SM parlor toward the beginning of the 1990s.
 During class hours, assigned teams will distribute handouts for the class containing a summary and detailed linguistic explications of the assigned text. Every other week, they will also prepare English questions about interpretive possibilities of the assigned text, and class participants will answer these questions through written English statements. Next, students will compare answers with their fellow classmates through English group discussions before taking part in a class debate conducted in Japanese. Other class activities include a reading of related critical essays as well as a comparison between the original text and its film adaptation. English compositions will be returned to each student the following week with the instructor's comments and corrections.
