HBRJD-UA 784 - The Gender of Peace and War

Institution:

New York University

Subject:

Description:

Is there a "natural" fit between the sexes and the pacifist or military impulse? This question has been at the core of the discourse about women and peace ever since its inception in the 19th-century European peace movements. This course traces the history of this debate, placing it within the general theoretical discussion over essentialism versus social and cultural constructivism (or, more commonly, "nature" versus "nurture"). Readings include fiction, poetry, and essays by activists and theorists alike, from Europe, America, and the Middle East.
