SoSe 24: V-Culture-Gender-Media: Theorizing Gender
Sabine Schülting
Comments
The course will offer a comprehensive introduction to Gender Theories. We will start with the basic terminology, the key concepts, and the historical development of Gender Studies, and address parallels and differences between Gender Studies and Feminism, Masculinity Studies and Queer Studies. Focusing on a variety of examples from literature and culture, mainly (but not exclusively) from the 20th and 21st centuries, we will consider the construction of gender identities and their intersections with other social categories such as race, class, sexual orientation, religion etc. This will also include a consideration of cultural differences and historical changes. The second half of the semester will be dedicated to more recent debates and approaches, such as gender and religion, gender and ecology, queer temporality, gender and Disability Studies, and Trans Studies.
The course will be organised as a lecture series with discussion. Students are expected to attend regularly and read short texts in preparation of weekly classes. All texts will be available on Blackboard.
