Course description

This course was taught by Robert Tobin at Whitman College. Professor Tobin worked at Whitman for 18 years as associate dean of the faculty and chair of the humanities, and was named Cushing Eells Professor of the Humanities. Several of the courses he developed at Whitman would make the transition to Clark, where they continued to evolve.

"To what extent is desire a product of discourse, sexuality a product of textuality and vice versa? World Literature 388 attempts to answer these questions by examining texts about sex from a variety of historical periods and cultural backgrounds."
