The Body in Feminist Theory and Practice
Cursusdoel
A) analyze art practices as well as contemporary and historical case studies related to the body and embodiment;
B) explore multiple ways in which the body can become a subject of feminist and queer inquiry, art, and activism;

Vakinhoudelijk
This course familiarizes students with conceptual and theoretical approaches to analysing the body, embodiment, and the embodied subject through its focus on the place of the corporeal in various interdisciplinary contexts (e.g., queer and feminist theory, transgender studies, visual studies, poststructuralist theory, critical race studies, disability studies, and feminist Marxist theory). In approaching these thematics, the course will engage with a variety of different media and texts.
Topics can include: technologies of power and their role in producing gendered subjectivities and sexed bodies; reproduction under capitalism; the body in practices of representation; body modification and transformation; the material-discursive construction of race; transgender and disability politics; relationships between embodiment and the environment.
This is a participatory course, where students input is crucial to designing the sessions and key points of debates with their peers.
Werkvormen
Toelichting
Each session will begin with a short lecture by the (guest) teacher, followed by a group presentation in which students present an epistemological problem/representational issue concerning the body in feminist theory or practice, as related to the assigned readings. Each session will then conclude with a discussion connected to the course texts, lecture, and presentation.
Bijdrage
As part of participation, students will give one group presentation in which they discuss the assigned readings, ideally as it connects to both their research interests and to the themes of the session.
Voorbereiding
Students are required to attend class, complete assigned readings, and prepare assignments. Students should demonstrate an affinity with gender and/or postcolonial theory and the ability to engage in a critical reading of assigned material.
