Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
How do racialized and colonial narratives influence 'our' ideas and conceptualizations of gender, of 'femininity' and 'masculinity'? How do constructions of race intersect with sexuality, sexual desire as well as with ideas of reproduction and kinship? Which forms of violence and which systems of inequality are being legitimated and sustained by and through racialized constructions of gender and sexuality (as for instance, racist rape laws; the establishement of heteronomative families through colonial law; enforced sterilization of Black Women* in the Global South but also in US prisons)? Which role do specific ideas of gender and sexuality play with regard to defintions of 'civilization', 'modernity', 'development' (as for instance, LGBTIQ or women's rights are being perceived as an indicator of modernity or development)? And last but not least: How do these narratives influence our reading of current incidents, such as the 'incident' in colon?This seminar aims to critically interlink insisghts from queer, postcolonial, decolonial intersectional and feminist studies in order to develop a multi-faceted and complex perspective on the intersections of race, gender, sexuality and class. It will discussed how and why these intersections 'matter' in order to fully understand structures and manifestations of global and 'local' inequalities and power.
