(Additionally, there will be two poems and a brief excerpt, forthcoming.)
Elise, D. (2002). The Primary Maternal Oedipal Situation and Female Homoerotic Desire. Psychoanal. Inq., 22(2):209-228.
Roughton, R. (2000). Sometimes a Desire is Just a Desire: Gay Men and Their Analysts. Gender and Psychoanalysis, 5(3):259-273.
We will explore what it means to love/desire a person of the same gender. We realize this is already a limiting idea for we know more at this point in the class that being of the same physical anatomy is neither the same anatomy nor the same psychic experiences.
We will add some firsthand accounts (2 poems, and possibly an excerpt from a novel) so that our discussion is not merely clinical/theoretical.
Halfway mark: We will discuss how the class is going thus far, and revise syllabus accordingly. Thus the remaining readings are not set in stone.
