FI 212 — Drag and Cross-Dressing in Cinema
3 credits; 2 lecture and 2 lab hours
This lecture/screening class examines the idea of clothing as a cultural performance, as it intersects with gender as masquerade. It will explore the relationships between cross-dressing and theatricality, the way in which clothing constructs (and deconstructs) gender and gender differences, and the performativity of gender.
