L38 Span 3614Researching Cultures: Iberian Feminisms3.0 Units
Description:This course will examine the development and transformations of feminist thought in the Iberian Peninsula, from the Enlightenment to the present, considering a diverse array of literary and cultural production (narrative fiction, poetry, essay, press accounts, film and visual culture) by women. We will consider not only the challenges faced by women cultural producers, given their social, legal, and historical circumstances, but also the strategies they used to negotiate their participation in the public sphere as writers, intellectuals, social reformers and activists. We will explore, from an intersectional perspective, the unique perspectives these women brought to their work, as they address pressing social, political, and cultural issues pertaining to their place in society, such as citizenship, suffragism, equal rights, divorce, gender violence, personal and political freedom, racial justice, among others. We will consider works of Enlightenment thinkers such as Josefa Amar y Borbón, representing the beginnings of a modern feminist consciousness in Iberia; Romantic writers (Coronado, Gómez de Avellaneda), who, under the impact of liberalism, were key to shaping new models of subjectivity for women; nineteenth-century (proto)feminists and social reformers of the fin-de-siècle (Pardo Bazán, Gimeno de Flaquer, Arenal); early twentieth-century suffragists and freethinkers (Carmen de Burgos, Campoamor, Hildegart); and feminist writers and filmmakers of the post-Franco era (Montero, Riera, Bollaín, Taberna) and women representing the diverse diasporic communities of 21st-century Spain (El Hachmi, Bela-Lobedde, Mbomio Rubio, Quanzhou Wu). Course assignments will consist of short essays, a book report, and a final project. Prerequisites: Spanish 308D or 303 and two of the following (341, 342, 342, 370, 380, or Debating Cultures).

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
