LIT4021 SpTop:Sex&Politics Shakespeare’s Stag Sex and Politics on Shakespeare’s Stage is a serious, senior level class with a sense of play. We will read plays across the genres in which Shakespeare wrote, with a particular focus on how Shakespeare shapes his ideas of women, men, politics, and power. The guiding ideas for this course are these: Shakespeare is serous about his sexual politics. And because he is, we have revolutionary ideas (not only for Elizabethan England, but for the present day as well) of gender politics and women’s power. We also have some serious exploration of the power and authority of men, and what happens when that power goes bad. Shakespeare is political. We’ll look at how Shakespeare dared the system of his day, and how contemporary directors are staging him to ask questions about our own politics. This is a hands-on class, with focus on Shakespearean performance. It relies upon students’ close, critical reading of literary sources, insightful contributions and leadership in class discussion, and dedication to the concept of knowledge creation.
