SoSe 21: Issues in American Feminism(s): An Introduction
Alina Vaisfeld
Kommentar
This course will introduce students to American Feminism(s). Contextualizing and relating the many different strands of feminist thought, it will serve as a historical exploration of U.S. feminist movements. But, more importantly, the course will focus on feminist philosophy, that is, the issues, questions, and debates with which feminists have struggled and continue to struggle. Topics will include the relation between sex and gender, the space of biology, the question of the body, domesticity and desire, kinship and motherhood, and complex forms of oppression and their intersections. We will study thinkers and activists such as Sojourner Truth, Betty Friedan, Audre Lorde, Angela Davis, bell hooks, Judith Butler, Sara Ahmed, Annette Fausto-Sterling, and Paul B. Preciado. By listening in on the conversations between these authors and by actively contributing to them, students will encounter feminism not as a monolithic discourse, but rather as wide-ranging and often discordant reflections on the kind of lives we want to lead and the kind of world we want to inhabit.
