I<\/span>n the first class, we will begin our exploration of the intersections between Queer Theory and a Jungian analytical frame, as articulated by Lee Edelman in\u00a0No Future: Queer Theory and the Death Drive<\/em>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We will follow this in the second class with a discussion of our understandings of power, hierarchy, kinship, libido, and the costs of \u201cstanding outside\u201d of the normative, as well as the necessity of doing so if we are to be conscious of our unique relationship to and within Psyche. Our text for this class will be Judith Butler’s \u00a0Antigone\u2019s Claim: Kinship Between Life and Death.<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Next, we will address complexes at the individual and cultural levels and how individuation necessitates a continual struggle in this realm of the Psyche. We will connect Jungian ideas that pertain to working with complexes with the ideas of Queer theorist Sara Ahmed, as articulated in her book,\u00a0Queer Phenomenology: Orientations, Objects, Others.<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In the fourth and last class, we will try to synthesize what has been unfolding for by working with fairy tales from a Queer Energy perspective. We will hold an open discussion of Hans Christian Anderson\u2019s\u00a0The Steadfast Tin Soldier,\u00a0<\/em>Angela Chambers\u2019\u00a0The Lady of the House of Love,<\/em>\u00a0and Oscar Wilde\u2019s\u00a0The Happy Prince.<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A complete list of readings and an expanded look at what we\u2019ll discuss in each class will be sent to participants upon registration.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
