FGSS 6410
Female Acts: From Antiquity to Jelinek

Course information provided by the 2020-2021 Catalog.

Woman caring for the dead; women sacrificed; fatal female desire - these images have been constitutive for Western aesthetic and theoretical discourse. How is female agency, in word and deed, delimited in a world divided along the lines of public/private, state/family, visible/invisible, outside/inside, mind/body, culture/nature? How are knowledge and thought conditioned by positing gendered and racial others? Have investigations of "public feelings" (Cvetkovich, Berlant) changed the perspective on gendered affects (rage, revenge)?


Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: advanced German reading.

When Offered Spring.

Comments Readings in German and English. This is this only time this course will be offered.
