Examines the variety of feminisms developed by Third World feminists and the politics of Third World feminisms, particularly as these have taken (and take) shape in relation to nationalism, anti-colonial struggle and post-coloniality. Problematics we will pursue include: critical interrogation of the categories ?women,? ?Third World,? and ?feminism;? the legacies of colonialism and import of imperialism and racisms for Third World feminist projects at their interfaces with nationalism, anti-colonial struggle, and postcolonial state-building; the varying relationships between theory, experience and identity in Third World feminisms and their politics; and knowledge production about and the politics of representing Third World women/feminisms/nationalism.

Examines theories of power and difference through a focus on kinship, gender and sexuality. Organizing questions include: how kinship works to bind people to social structures, how the powerful bonds of kinship, with their signifying ties to gender and sexuality, are made available for larger social projects (community-building, nationalism, social policy, etc.), and produce exclusions as meanings grounded in everyday practices are redeployed to larger arenas; how kinship mediates relationships between nature and culture, and through that works to ?naturalize? social differences (gender, race, sexuality, class) and systems of inequality. We ground our studies of kinship, gender and sexuality in readings on their places and uses in, for example, colonialism, decolonization, prostitution, queer subcultures, nation-building, ?race? and racism, and new reproductive technologies.

3.00 Credits
Emphasizes anthropological and feminist scholarship on ?the body? that has worked to denaturalize the body by interrogating how bodies are produced as socially meaningful, how bodies are ?read,? and in what embodiment consists. Course readings use the body to examine: social theories of identity and difference and processes of subjectification, including shifts in their formation within conditions of post/modernity, postcoloniality and late capitalism; current approaches to gender and sexedness, sexuality and heteronormativity, racialization and racisms, and class; large-scale processes interpolated through specific bodies, such as colonialism, nationalism and neoliberalism and, more broadly, structures of inequality and the operations of power; cultural differences in understandings of the body and enactments of embodiment, helping us to explore comparative questions about materiality and performativity and about bodies as cultural artifacts.
