WGST-203-01 Representing Gender: Feminist Visual Culture
Fall only
This course will interrogate the multiple ways in which representational practices condition formations of gender and sexuality, as they intersect with race and class. We will consider various understandings of representation, practices of looking, gender, and sexuality through the work of theorists such as Gayle Rubin, Laura Mulvey, bell hooks, Michel Foucault, Judith Butler, and Judith Halberstam. Themes include: subjectivity and self-representation; vision, power, and the gaze; the body and sexuality; and the links between representations and identities. Always at the forefront of attention, however, are the politics of visuality, which are analyzed through the conceptual prisms of feminist, postmodernist, queer, and critical race theories.
