SoSe 18: Queer forward slash Religion
Omar Kasmani
Comments
Queer forward slash Religion thrives on the promise of an uneasy affair: It cruises the unfrequented yet critical meeting place of the queer and the religious. The course invites participants to read religion queerly, to imagine queerness in extra-sexual terms, and to mess around with habituated ways of understanding both. Students are expected to develop theoretical and methodological tools to think, theorize and write queerly. close
