Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
LGBTQ+ in literature and press is a fairly new phenomenon in Nepali society. Recently, the situation has become more favourable and the discourse has become more open. Not only from outsiders but also members of the queer community themselves are presenting their personal experiences through writings, interviews and other performances. This course aims to read the selected texts from these limited sources to outline the past and present situation of LGBTQ+ in Nepal and the responses to it. This will help us to understand more about the queer community in Nepali cultural practices, response to them and related discourses.
Assessment and permitted materials
The class meetings are divided into close reading, discussion and formal lecturing. It is absolutely necessary that all students engage with the weekly reading in order to participate in the class discussions.
