Childhood, queered - Einzelansicht

MA Seminar - Childhood, queered 

Alongside race, gender, and sexuality, age is one of the defining aspects of an individual’s subjectivity and identity, but it has, until recently, been neglected by scholars working within the cultural studies. Taking an intersectional approach, this course considers the recent turn to childhood within recent theoretical work, most notably queer studies, and charts how the social and ideological construct of childhood has operated as a normative category in the establishment of unequal social relations.
