Roots of Feminisms: Texts and Contexts 04W, 05W: 11 This course will examine pre-twentieth century texts and historical events that set important precedents for the development of contemporary feminist theories and practices. We will survey some of the writings that consolidate legitimated patriarchal/misogynist ideologies in Western worlds (e.g. Plato, Aristotle, the fathers of the Church, the philosophers of the eighteenth-century Enlightenment, Rousseau). We will analyze different ways in which women historically have articulated strategies of contestation and/or resistance to systems of power based on gender differentiation. Readings may include works by French medieval thinker Christine de Pizan; sixteenth-century Spanish cross-dresser Catalina de Erauso; seventeenth-century Mexican intellectual and nun Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz; Mary Wollstonecraft; Maria Stewart, the first African-American political woman writer; the nineteenth-century American suffragists; and anarchist leader Emma Goldman.

Dist: SOC; WCult: NA. Langford. An Anthro experimental: In 04F, Political and Religious Martyrdom.We are witness today to a new conflation of religion and politics. This may take the form of political religion, the so-called fundamentalist movements which make their appearance in all major religions, or it may take the form of religious politics, which bases its claims on mythological land claims. Theoretically, the martyr is the very allegory of the intersection of religion and politics. The question of and fascination with martyrdom confronts us with the common ground of religion and politics. (CULT) Schiffauer. Full post and comments below the fold.
