Roundtable description<\/h2>\n

In his 1976 text, Keywords: A Vocabulary of Culture and Society<\/em>, cultural studies scholar Raymond Williams historically examined key terms and concepts that were used mostly uncritically. Interestingly, while he wrote about the keyword “sex” and showed how its earliest English meaning was meant to secure the division of people into “men” and “women”—from the 14th century “secus” or “sexus” referring to a “section” of humanity, it became predominant only in the 16th century. In this roundtable on “gender,” participants will examine the various cultural fictions that arise from our everyday acceptance of our being “women” and “men” as well as the contestations that have arisen to these social positionalities and subjectivities.<\/p>\n

Event details<\/h2>\n

Louise Neverlson’s “Darkness”<\/em> with Julia Bryan-Wilson will take place on Tuesday, November 3, 6–7:30 p.m. at the ART Auditorium.<\/p>\n

The roundtable discussion will take place Wednesday, November 4, 12–1:15 p.m. in Burns Hall, East-West Center room 4118.<\/p>\n
