Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Aims and Contents:Anti-gender and anti-feminist politics and policies, which feature discriminatory, misogynist, homo and transphobic, and exclusionary discourses and practices, have been increasingly on the rise globally, but so have feminist movements and discourses on structural transformation mainly originating in the so-called Global South, but not limited to it. From the recent feminist revolutions in Rojava and Iran to mass mobilizations of millions of women and gender dissidents in Latin America against gender violence and also the International Women's strike across the globe, feminisms are on the move and moving the societies.This master seminar is designed to discuss recent theories and debates on different aspects and conditions of the possibility of new feminisms in the past decade. It will explore the impact of new feminisms, as practices and discourses, on each other and their influence on mobilization in the societies where they originate or travel. The seminar aims to broaden students' knowledge of the recent global turn toward authoritarian neoliberalism and, notably, its anti-gender politics as well as various lineages of emerging feminisms, new social movements, everyday life politics, and gender (counter)strategies and aesthetics. Likewise, It helps students to critically evaluate inquiry and identify challenges of both theorization, ethics, and practises of feminisms.Method:The seminar method mainly consists of reviewing and analysing suggested readings through group and individual presentations, class discussions, feedback assignments, and final essays.The readings include, among others, feminist theorization and conceptualization of recent anti-gender politics, authoritarian neoliberalism, body-territory, transversality, feminist utopia, and common, as well as case studies of recent gender movements and perspectives such as international feminist strikes, struggles for life in Latin America, and feminist revolutions in the Middle East.
Assessment and permitted materials
Active participation in the seminar (10% of final grade): This includes regular seminar attendance (maximum of two allowed absences without notice), completion of reading assignments, and active participation in discussions throughout the semester.Home assignments (20% of final grade): Students are required to complete two short written assignments. The first assignment is to write a feedback text, which should include summarising, analysing/criticising, and posing questions for further discussion on the subject and readings of a chosen session. This feedback should be submitted on Moodle one day before the chosen session (no more than one page). The second assignment is a summary of the student's thoughts and feedback from discussions and presentations in the last session they attended. This summary should be submitted no later than two weeks after the session (no more than one page).Collective presentation/moderation (30% of final grade): Students are expected to work in small groups to give input on a session. This includes summarising texts (max. 10 minutes), and moderating class discussion by collecting and presenting questions and feedback submitted a day before the session on Moodle. Each group is encouraged to bring up new critiques, concerns, and debates on the readings for further discussion. The grade will be assigned to the group as a whole, so it's not necessary for each student to present individually. The focus is on collectively coming up with innovative ways to initiate and moderate discussions in the session.Final Assignment (50% of final grade): Students must submit a final assignment in the form of an essay (between 2500 to 3500 words) no later than two weeks after the final session. The essay should either further a discussion or provide critiques by evaluating the literature on one of the main topics covered in the course or by presenting a case study or personal experiences that can be analyzed based on seminar discussions and readings.
