I.DESCRIPCIÓN DEL CURSO

In this course, students will examine performative language from a sociolinguistic and gender theory perspective.

The focus will be on the relevance of language and linguistic expression in the construction of identities, with particular care on how the theory and practice have changed and developed in the past decades. In addition, key concepts and themes such as gender, sexuality and representation will be explored and analyzed in different linguistic landscapes. Contents will be analyzed and discussed in oral and written class discussions and in collaborative work activities. Evaluations will consider peer appraisal, portfolio presentation and group analysis of discourse-linguistic events connected to gender issues.


II.RESULTADOS DE APRENDIZAJE

1.To critically assess the concepts in performative language and their application in gender and queer theory in every day communication.
