CMS 4810 - Women and the Arts

Institution:

Clayton State University

Subject:

Description:

In this course, we will explore the role of women as artists, spectators, and representations in the visual, literary, and performing arts. Our primary category of analysis in Women & the Arts is gender, the socially constructed and historically variable understanding of what it means to be a woman or man, but we will further consider how this category interacts with race, class, and sexuality in the arts. Likewise, a central idea in our class is that knowledge and images conveyed through artistic texts are not neutral; rather, the arts socialize and discipline us even as they entertain and enlighten us. Prerequisites: ENGL 1102 (C) and [ART 2302 or CMS 2100 (C), or PHIL 2401 (C), or THEA 1100 (C), or WST 2500 (C)];
