Inhalt
This lecture gives a thorough introduction to the ever-expanding field of gender studies. We will not only trace the historical development of notions of femininity and masculinity from Aristotle and the Bible to the present day but the lecture will also provide an introduction to the major theoretical branches of gender studies, including women studies, deconstructive feminism, masculinity studies, and transgender and intersex studies.
Special attention will be paid to the interrelatedness of language, sexuality, and the construction of identity. Moreover, students who take part in this lecture will have preferred access to the performances, films and round-table discussions of the “Diversity Tage der TU Dresden 2017” (November 6-11), which form an integral part of this lecture series.
