Hopefully it might help with untangling some of the key threads of argument in Butler's text.

This is also a great space to share ideas for media, cultural, artistic and literary examples that you see as being in conversation with queer theory more generally.

Remember that this is your space to begin to shape the content to allow discussions for specific areas that you're interested in. I'll review it all before Friday to see what we're able to incorporate. 

Happy reading, happy writing!]]> 2023-03-06 14:47:07 UTC https://padlet.com/dma208_2/xh4v3sm7065my47e/wish/2505276104 https://padlet.com/dma208_2/xh4v3sm7065my47e/wish/2511713988 Hi.

I thought these were quite interesting as they show two different perspectives on the use of the word 'queer'.

It's about a guy who wakes up in an alternate universe where all the gender roles are reversed. ]]> 2023-03-31 14:05:22 UTC https://padlet.com/dma208_2/xh4v3sm7065my47e/wish/2539932012
