Week 6 How the Ideas of Sex and Gender are Rooted in Culture Vasilina Orlova (original) (raw)

This paper explores the cultural underpinnings of sex and gender, engaging with various scholarly interpretations of Vladimir Nabokov's works to highlight the interplay between literature and socio-political contexts. It encourages discussion on monogamy versus polyamory, kinship systems in society, and contemporary formations of gender expression. The implications of queer identity in a heteronormative world are considered, setting the stage for an examination of queer performance in subsequent discussions.
