Title: Literature and Gender: Imagining Intersex
Description: An interdisciplinary exploration of intersex as it is represented in literary, philosophical, psychoanalytic, medical, legal, and anthropological discourses. A variety of materials, from creation myths in Plato to novels both modern (Virginia Woolf's <u>Orlando</u>) and contemporary (Jeffrey Eugenides' <u>Middlesex</u>), are examined to consider the genesis and circulation of intersex as a category. Do sexually different bodies pose a challenge to the idea of sexual difference? What might literary fantasies about intersex reveal about the construction of normative gender?
