230407 Queer Caribbean Literature (S) (WiSe 2020/2021)

Contents, comment

This course will examine both queer literature from the Caribbean and its diasporas, and interrogate the notions of queer Caribbean/s and queer diaspora/s. In popular opinion, the contemporary Caribbean is more often associated with rampant homophobia than queer culture; similarly, queerness and queer cultures are often represented as overwhelmingly white. In this course, we will examine queer writing from the Caribbean and its cultural and political contexts – including the ways in which it may challenge both homophobia in the Caribbean and limited, stereotypical understandings of the Caribbean abroad, particularly in the USA and Europe – in addition to grappling with questions around how queer theory translates to and emerges from Caribbean and diasporic contexts.
