This course will investigate the categories of gender and sexuality in Russian culture. We will look at literary texts and films from various periods to see how these categories were constructed in pre-Revolutionary Russia, in the Soviet Union, and in post-Soviet Russia. Topics addressed will include Russian definitions of masculinity and femininity, same-sex desire, and the connection between political and sexual dissidence. LIT EUR
