WMST V3813 - Colloquium on Feminist Inquiry

Institution:

Columbia University in the City of New York

Subject:

Description:

This course focuses on those conceptualizations that often are assumed in the practices of feminist inquiry. We will read a number of feminist authors whose works will help us address these conceptualizations and how they are presently contributing to contemporary feminist and critical thinking. We will consider the genealogy of these conceptualizations: the way they have changed or not and why. Then we will consider how these changes affect the practices of feminist inquiry. Some of the conceptualizations to be considered will be: the body, the autobiographic, affect, race/racism, ethnicity, war, debt, governmentality, empiricism, social construction, method, code and measure. Some of the authors to be read are: Richard Dienst, Karen Barad, Judith Butler, Rey Chow, Melinda Cooper, Gilles Deleuze, Saidiya Hartman, Jamaica Kincaid, Brian Massumi, Angela Mitropoulos, Luciana Parisi, Jasbir Puar, and Tiziana Terranova.
