New course for Fall 2013: Queer Citizenship!

New Course
LGBT 448Q
Queer Citizenship

Course Description:
Students will examine the processes and practices of citizenship in everyday life with a specific focus on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) cultures and identities. Beginning with Thomas Marshall’s concept of citizenship, students explore the history of citizenship in the U.S. with a “queer” lens and identify how exclusion and inclusion operate within citizenship formations of “minority” groups. They investigate mobilizations and political and cultural affiliations of LGBTQ communities to understand the changing historical and material contexts of citizenship that produce new forms of identity and new forms of belonging.

Course Objectives:
Understanding how marginalized or “minority” LGBTQ groups resist, negotiate, and/or incorporate issues of citizenship in their everyday lives primarily through various artistic expressions;
Reframing citizenship to highlight the cultural aspects of identity that have been excluded from legal discourse to underscore the expressive, communal, and artistic frames that create different forms of membership illustrating LGBTQ self-making and self-determination;
Examining how LGBTQ cultures, sexualities, and identities have changed, disrupted, or modified early conventions of citizenship and theorize the potentials for a 21st-Century "queer" citizenship.

More information about other LGBT courses can be found at http://lgbts.umd.edu/courses.html

Looking for an interesting elective course for summer? Give this Art History course a try!

SUMMER ART HISTORY COURSE ANNOUNCEMENT
ARTH 346: Nineteenth-Century European Art from 1850
 Summer Session I: May 28, 2013 - July 7, 2013, Mondays and Wednesdays, 4:30 – 8:00 pm

The late-nineteenth century was a dramatic time filled with rapid changes in politics, science, and social theory, and the art world dealt with all of it. How did artists respond to these changes? Can art drive these changes?

The Impressionist, Neo-Impressionist, and Symbolist artists were avid readers of psychological theories and often struggled to incorporate them within their work. New theories advanced in the 1880s by Charcot, the so-called father of modern neurology, created a stir of interest in the self and the mind, which impacted artists in diverse ways.
In ARTH 346, students will learn about the intersections of art and…

- Politics and economics
- Literature
- Optics and color theory
- Industry
- Psychology
- Darwinism- social, biological…
- Painting technique and materials
- Social change, the rise of the bourgeoisie

Students will study some of the world’s most beloved artists- Monet, Degas, Renoir, Cézanne, Van Gogh, Gauguin (and many more!) and the ways their personal relationships with each other as well as with poets, novelists, journalists, and scientists impacted the development of artistic trends in France.
