This class builds a picture of 'queer of colour' critique via José Maria Munoz's Disidentifications: Queers of Color and the Performance of Politics (1999). By establishing the parameters of an intersectional understanding of 'social constructivism', i.e. the importance of taking racial structures of domination into account when thinking through sexual and gender deviation, we will consider what strategies are required to 'disidentify' with social narratives of selfhood.
This will be traced through excerpts from Garréta's text, notably pp.62-64, p.38, and pp.54-55.
