Description:

This interdisciplinary history of art and women's studies course focuses on the unique relationship between biological sisters, analyzing the history of cultural constructions of sisters in sacred texts, mythology, fairytales, painting, film, television, and advertising. From Rachel and Leah to Roseanne and Jackie, sisterly relations will be examined with regard to the complicated mixtures of love, envy, hatred, devotion, jealously, dispassion, etc. How have representations of sisterhood reflected/betrayed larger cultural constructs, concerns, an prejudices? Fieldwork at area museums and/or with local women's organizations is integral to this course.
