| Inhalt |
By confronting the role(s) assigned to women in much of the history of Western political thought and the representation of women in the “canon” of political theory with the voices of women authors throughout the period, this course aims to propose a different history of ideas and a new perspective on the emergence of gender as a political category and as a tool for social analysis. After an initial foray in Greek theater to study several major female characters and heroines (Antigone, Medea, Lysistrata…), the course turns to the works of Plato and Aristotle, followed by several other major male authors of the canon: Machiavelli, Rousseau, Mill, and Marx. Their respective writings on women are looked at closely, interspersed with significant responses and contributions by female authors. The last part of the course is dedicated to the analysis of late 19th and 20th century women’s voices, in particular from the socialist and revolutionary traditions, and among so-called third wave feminists. Inviting the students to reflect on such fundamental concepts as equality, emancipation, and representation, the course is intended to help them hone their writing skills thanks to the drafting of several short essays and a longer term paper. |
