Advanced Feminist Theory

Catalog description

Feminism and Poststructuralism are two major theoretical approaches to the understanding of society, politics, and culture. What do they have in common? Where do they part company? We'll examine their views on agency, the subject, language, and materiality; and their engagements in the "cultural wars." Readings include Butler, Deleuze, Derrida, Irigaray, Kristeva.
