I have created your final post assignment by combining a selection of your suggestions from last Thursday's class. Special thanks to In the Box, Kerfuffle, Total Eclipse of the Heart, Theorize This, and the Pedagogical Imperative.
Compose a post a) defining queer (in a variety of its senses, including the ways in which Butler and queer theory use it); b) explaining queer theory; and c) discussing the conflict (as troublesome, powerful, productive, etc.) inherent in identifying with a particular identity while simultaneously rejecting identity politics. You should make reference to Butler's "Imitation and Gender Insubordination" in your post as well as any other source you find useful. In addition, you should "make your post pretty" (with a video clip, image, etc.). If you wish, you may use popular cultural examples to explain and support elements of your post.
Posts are due by Wednesday, 12/8, at 7 p.m.
