Kommentar

This seminar offers a survey of the intellectual tradition that takes for its object the interrogation and theorization of systems of power whereby inequality is associated with gender, sex and sexuality. We explore a range of key works from the intellectual history of feminist and queer theory, mainly as it is written in the West. Through works of philosophy and of political, and psychoanalytic theory about gender and sexuality, the course traces the foundations and development of some major strands of recent and contemporary thought about gender and sexuality: liberal feminism, with its emphasis on sameness and equality; cultural, separatist, and lesbian feminisms with their focus on difference; radical and Marxist, socialist, anarquist feminisms with their political and material analysis of gender; intersectional feminisms with their questioning of such identity categories as "woman;" postcolonial and transnational theories of gender and sexuality; queer theory and its mobilization of deconstructive modes of thought; and trans theory with its shift of emphasis back to embodiment and identity. Authors include (among others) Flora Tristán, Emma Goldman; Simone de Beauvoir, Michel Foucault, Maria Mies, Audre Lorde; Adriane Rich; Hortense Spillers; Luce Irigaray, Monique Wittig, Teresa de Lauretis, Rosi Braidotti, Luisa Muraro, Adriana Cavarero; Chandra Mohanty, Cherie Moraga, Gloria Anzaldua, Nira Yuval-Davis; Uma Narayan, Trinh-T-Min-ha; Gayatri Spivak, Maxine Molyneux, Saskia Wieringa.
