FGSS 6410
Female Acts: From Antiquity to Jelinek

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2020-2021.

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)?

When Offered Spring.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: advanced German reading.

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