  	Notes: This course considers the dramatic representations of sexuality found within contemporary theatre, film, and popular culture. There are no prerequisites to enrolling in this course and students from every discipline are welcome. This course examines the representations of sexuality found within contemporary theatre and culture. We will consider the variety of dichotomies which sexuality presents such as masculine/feminine, heterosexual/homosexual, purity/corruption, and deviant/normal. We will explore sexuality as a conceptualization defined by history and politics with social, psychological, and cultural implications. We will question the politics involved in regulating and normalizing sexuality through laws, the media, and institutions such as religion. Finally, we will consider the aesthetic implications of sexuality as portrayed in the drama we discuss.
