In this seminar, we will have a closer look at how studying language intersects with studying sexuality. We will, among other things, talk about the following topics:
- how sexual identities (e.g. gay, lesbian and heterosexual) are expressed and constructed via language,
- how sexual desire is expressed and constructed via language,
- how studying sexuality is intrinsically linked to the concept of gender,
- what insights the theory of queer linguistics offers, and what its potential shortcomings might be,
- what 'heteronormativity' means, etc.
