Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
How should Gender- and Queer Studies deal with the concepts of morals and ethics? What is the task of moral philosophy within the framework of feminist and gender-philosophy? Feminist ethics is concerned with gender-hierarchy and discrimination against women and with intersectional forms of discrimination such as racism, heterosexism, homophobia, class-struggle, etc. Queer ethics brings into sharp focus all forms of discrimination against humans who don't conform to heteronormative gender-rules. Are central Kantian and Hegelian ideas (responsible person, autonomy, action, freedom, diversity, friendship and love) in terms of questions of moral philosophy, viewed through the lens of Gender- and Queer-Studies still relevant today? We will critically question the concept of subjectivity, normatively, autonomy and will refer for example to Judith Butler's criticism of the violence of ethics.Method: weekly lecture, followed by a lively debate and open discussion
