ART 343 - Feminist Art Histories

Credits: 4
An examination of the impact of feminism and feminist theory on visual culture from the 1960s to today, with select pre-1960s material as background. Visual culture encompasses academic Art History, but also popular spaces of representation including film, music, and television. Students learn how feminist cultural producers address systemic inequalities of gender, race, and class. Recognizing that categories of gender and sexuality are constructed differently across cultures, this course takes a transnational approach. There is focus on the intersections of feminism and post-human studies and the impact of new technology and climate on contemporary feminism, queer theory, and their art.
