FGSS 3950
French Feminisms

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2016-2017.

A set of francophone feminist theorists has often been referred to as representative of "French Feminism." These theorists have systematically been a crucial reference in the making of American feminism since the 1960s. Yet this selection of French feminists may not adequately reflect the complexity of the actual French feminist landscape. Is there even such a thing as a discretely French feminism? While mapping out the theoretical legacy of the so-called French feminism, this course will explore the complexity of the dialogues between French and American feminists since the 60s in order to understand the most recent debates in gender studies in France. The readings will include, among others: Simone de Beauvoir, Hélène Cixous, Luce Irigaray, Christine Delphy, Julia Kristeva, Monique Wittig, Geneviève Fraisse, Françoise Collin.
