After completing the course, students should be able to
* recognise the inherent gendered nature of current political, economic and social transformation processes,
* name the associated redefinition processes of gender and gender relations,
* better understand the interconnectedness and current realignment of capitalism and patriarchy,
* make their criticism of social processes and scientific discourses more complex,
* better understand social and gender theories and better apply their theoretical knowledge, and
* better understand their personal realities as political-economic realities.Contents:
How is gender redefined in the context of current social developments? How are gender relations currently being reformed? Based on these questions, the course offers an overview of current processes of transformation of the "sacred trinity" of capitalism, patriarchy and white supremacy.
At the centre of the SE is the link between neoliberalism, authoritarianism and militarisation, which is analysed with a focus on gender/gender relations from a materialist and post-structuralist perspective in order to make the material and discursive dimensions of current social developments and the associated gendering processes in Europe, especially in Austria, tangible. From a feminist-Marxist perspective, the focus is primarily on the economy, production/reproduction and labour, and from a feminist-Foucauldian perspective on knowledge, government rationality and the subject.Methods:
Oral: (text) discussion, working groups.
Written: questions on the basic literature, development of the research question for the seminar paper, seminar paper.
