1.Compare and contrast MacKinnon’s theory of sexual desire with Hakim’s. So, first explain each theorist’s conception of sexual desire individually and then compare and contrast them.
2.Apply Judith Butler’s concept of performativity and Green’s concept of the “performative interval” and “performative failure” to the documentary, FtF:Female to Femme. First, explain the concepts (performativity, performative interval, performative failure) and then discuss how or how not the women in FtF: Female to Femme relate to the concept of performative failure.
Instructions: Answer the two questions below. Be sure to answer each part of each question. Write approximately 3 pages, double-spaced, per essay. Also, be sure to use the major concepts of the readings, explain them carefully, and apply them as needed. Do not assume that your grader has prior knowledge—i.e., make all your arguments clear and transparent.
Use direct quotes from class materials VERY sparingly, if at all. Do not let quotes do the writing for you. If you use a quote, you must explain its meaning first in your own words. You must also use proper citation formatting, which includes putting the statement in quotations and ending with a parenthetical citation. As an example, “sdlksjdflkjsdlklkj” (Author, page number).
You may use any and all texts and notes from the course. You MAY NOT use the Internet to answer these questions.
In addition to The readings I’ve uploaded for these two courses, you’ll also need to read two chapters from “The Lesbian and Gay Studies Reader” Edited ByHenry Abelove, They are Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence and Imitation and Gender Insubordination
