Subject outline
Long before the Feminist movement took shape, there existed women who fought for women's rights and advocated for women's participation in public life. This subject explores case studies centred on the analysis of works (literary, philosophical, and filmic texts, as well as artworks) by key women from Europe and Latin America. You will learn about and discuss female icons, women writers, scholars, and artists from ancient to contemporary times , who contributed to reshape the socio-cultural norms of their societies by breaking out of the roles traditionally ascribed to their gender. Through this subject, you will gain a deeper understanding of the history of European and Latin American societies thereby developing the instruments to analyse and critique topical movements and social issues of our contemporary global societies. You will be made aware that single and apparently dispersed instances of resistance to a social status quo, when read as part of a larger context, can become the key in identifying and understanding an enduring call to build momentum towards social and cultural change. All classes are conducted in English.
