07/07/15 GI422 Sexuality, Gender and Globalisation Part 2 | Reading lists @ LSE GI422 Sexuality, Gender and Globalisation Part 2 (Lent Term 2014/15) View Online Sexuality, Gender and Globalisation, takes a case-study approach to questions of sexuality, gender and culture (in the first term) and a broad range of sexual formations in relation to nation and globalization (in the second). The full unit considers a variety of ways in which sexuality is central to the social sciences in today’s globalised world. Theoretical approaches will be woven through the course via case study material so as not to provide a false opposition between example and approach. The course will allow a more thorough grounding in this area than the half unit, and will include a high element of student participation and group work. It is interdisciplinary but does not have a pre-requisite. 197 items Course Outline (1 items) Term 1 Introduction: Sexuality, Gender and Culture 1. Histories of a field 2.

Sexual Subcultures Conference Overview Session and Essay Preparation Topic IV: Beyond Identity (66 items) The first three sessions of this term provide some additional concepts and ways of looking at the field of 'sexuality and gender studies' from a global perspective. In particular, we consider the politics and ethics of sexual meaning transnationally, where this frequently involves universalising from Western taxonomies. In addition, we consider thinking through two non-identitarian approaches, that of 'sexual citizenship' and that of 'affect', both of which provide other ways of thinking about sexuality in terms of practices and feelings. These sessions are also intended to remind you of, as well as extend, discussions from the first term. Week 11 Sexual Citizenship (12th Jan 2015) (18 items) This session continues to think through sexuality in global perspective, focusing on the literature on sexual citizenship. How is citizenship altered when we think through sexuality? How are key concepts such as 'the sexual citizen', 'acts of citizenship' or 'intimate citizen' useful and what are their limits? How do questions of sexuality reshape the ways we think about a history of citizenship in the first place?

Drawing on economic/Marxist as well as queer and feminist accounts of affect, theorists consider affect to be both the 'tie that binds us' to the violence of history and consumption, but also that which has the potential to articulate social forces and our relationship to them differently. How does this work when we thinking about intimacy and about the increasingly global nature of kinship (as well as affective labour)?

What are some of the dilemmas that arise when we do? This session focuses on the growing importance of sexuality for global regulation of people and politics, and on some of the key issues that arise. We will pay particular attention to the question of representing sexual others (across space and linguistic difference) and the challenges a transnational approach poses to how we research sexuality. The focus here will be primarily on understanding 'same-sex' practices in a transnational frame. Assessment Preparation: How to narrow a topic in developing a research-led essay?

Where historically, sexuality has been considered to be co-extensive with nation and citizenship only when part of traditional kinship, contemporarily lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans* subjects are also recognised. How might we make sense of this new, if partial, recognition? How might we track the unevenness of gay and lesbian security with respect to national borders and boundaries. How easy is it for queer subjects to move? Week 14: LGBT Asylum (Guest lecturer Emma Spruce, 2nd Feb 2015) (30 items) In this session we will consider the conditions under which LGBT asylum claims have become possible. How does looking at LGBT asylum help us to think about the ways in which sexual identities travel around the globe. What happens when we consider Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans asylum individually, rather than collectively under the acronym 'LGBT' or as 'gay asylum'? To what extent can LGBT asylum illustrate the opportunities and challenges of international LGBT politics? Key Reading (2 items) Missing the Mark.

'Homonationalism' theorises the changing centrality of homosexual rights and symbolism for the 'modern' nation and organisation of global power relations, highlighting the ambivalent role that homosexuality plays in respect of national identity and religio-political oppositions. While many theorists consider lesbian and gay identities to be increasingly powerful markers of modernity at the border, others stress the continued difficulties faced by 'ordinary' subjects.

While last term we explored (briefly) the question of sexual morality in relation to colonial histories, here we consider the relationship between sexual labour, race and borders in two related contexts: sex work and migration (including trafficking and regulation) and sex tourism (including LGBT and romance tourism). In exploring these sites we will highlight the intersectional complexities of global mobility and the purchase of sex, and interrogate the power relations that attend 'romance' in the context of tourism. In both cases, we will be 12/20 GI422 Sexuality, Gender and Globalisation Part 2 | Reading lists @ LSE 07/07/15 thinking through questions of representation and research positionality too, as a way of mediating what tend to be highly polarised debates within the field. Some texts cut across both weeks, so please think of these as integrated. Week 16: Sex Work and Migration (16th Feb 2015) (22 items) In this first session, we consider sex work in terms of migration, citizenship and representation. Always framed by sexual morality, sex work is also a question of borders and regulation of bodies (in terms of trafficking and violence). We focus here on different ways of conceiving of this form of sexual labour (as trafficking, as violence, as work) and on questions of representation and ethics in considering this field.

Long a feature of romance novels as well as tourism, the encounter with 'the other' is frequently exoticised through race and gender. It is not hard to see how international power relations of wealth and location are playing out when we think about 'mail order brides', say, but what about the dynamics within queer tourism or women's travelling desires?

Topic VII: Sexual Rights and Pleasures (34 items) The last topic of the course returns us to questions of rights and pleasures, with a particular focus on sexual rights discourse and its limits (particularly in terms of non-identitarian experiences). This is an opportunity for you to link academic and policy 16/20 GI422 Sexuality, Gender and Globalisation Part 2 | Reading lists @ LSE 07/07/15 issues, to consider intersectional and geographical issues, and to apply these concerns to particular case studies. It is also a context for thinking through how rights and pleasures might be thought of differently. Week 18: Sexual and Gendered Rights (March 2nd 2015) (22 items) In this session, we explore the development of the concept of 'sexual rights', as distinct from e.g. 'citizenship'. Sexual rights have been developed in the context of sexual violence in conflict, global development platforms, and the continued posing of 'sexuality' against questions of the economy or social justice. Yet proposing 'sexual rights' as a solution has severe limits, not least of all creating its own opposition between reproductive rights and pleasures. In addition, we explore the value of a 'rights'-based framework for addressing trans* (and disability) oppressions and marginalisations.

Focused primarily on sexual identity, rights, mobilities and constraints, sexual studies can often ignore the question of pleasure. Yet pleasure (and desire) are of course what often motivate people to form new communities, be a source of agency, and develop new subcultures that allow for freer sexual expression. Since this week is also the week you will be giving your conference presentations, I am only assigning a limited range of reading, and asking you to look at the safe sex 'pleasure project' website to get you thinking.
