Tier 2 Literary Knowledge
This is a writing intensive class. A grade of C- or better in UCWR 110 is required to enroll.
This course focuses on the eyewitness accounts of the World War II events, both atrocities and heroic human stories as written by Polish, Jewish, and American survivors. Prose and poetry will be supplemented by documentary films and feature adaptations of literature.
This course will critically investigate the notion of gender in texts from several Slavic cultures, including Polish, Czech, Slovak, and Russian. We will ask how these texts work against hetero-normative regimes of exclusivity, and whether their subversiveness has any effect in the political and practical realm. Not all of the works we read will be by queer authors, but the subject of these texts will be definitively queer.
