| Inhalt |
In the studies on war and terrorism, gender is often approached as differences between the sexes rather than the construct signifying the relationship of power. The words gender and sex have been used interchangeably which only replicates the stereotypes associated with femininity and masculinity by using the binary logic of what men and women are assumed to represent. This seminar will add gender construction as an additional layer to analyze power relations, its application to the social and cultural context, and the conception of assigned gender roles in wartime and inside the terrorist groups. By doing so, we find out interesting questions, such as: Is war inherently masculine? Can women be the perpetrator? We will attempt to find answers to those and more by surveying existing literature and debating the current topics in the field. The seminar is separated into three main blocks: 1- the theoretical and conceptual background on gender and war; 2- the study on women in terrorist groups; 3- the experience of gendered violence in the time of war and its aftermath. |
