Feminist studies
This week’s readings discuss how public institutions, spaces, and concerns shape visions of (proper) intimate life. For this week’s, answer the following questions using specific examples from the readings:
How are alternative or non-normative visions of intimacy renegotiating, challenging, or “rewriting” dominant visions of “intelligible” intimacy.
(500-600 words. You should give specific examples from at least two class readings. You must properly cite the readings to receive full credit. Citations should look like this: (Garcia 61) or (Garcia 2012: 61), for example. If you are paraphrasing a very general idea in the reading, you do not need to include a page number. However, direct quotes always require citations, and paraphrases of very specific ideas should have citations as well.)
