WGSS 350 - Posthuman Feminism
Credits: 4
Explores posthumanism, or the idea that humans are not exceptional, but part of a non-hierarchical network of plants, animals, machines, environment, and non-living matter. Students learn about the significant intersections between feminist and queer theory, gendered power dynamics, and posthumanism. The course explores the impacts of both new technologies and climate change on contemporary feminism and queer theory, with an emphasis on visual culture as a space of knowledge production. Students become familiar with key strains of posthuman feminism, including queer and feminist technoscience, Anthropocene feminism, and feminist new materialism. Students study theoretical texts alongside relevant artworks, literature, and film.
Distribution Requirements: HE, PD.
