Semestre
Breve descriptor:
Esta asignatura cuestionará el silenciamiento de las mujeres y su exclusión del canon de la literatura universal. Ofrecerá a las/los estudiantes una introducción al amplio espectro de los estudios de género y la llamada "teoría feminista" en los países de lengua inglesa desde la década de los años sesenta, con el fin de analizar, evaluar o reevaluar novelas, historias cortas, poemas y otras manifestaciones artísticas de escritoras desde finales del siglo XIX hasta la actualidad, tanto aquellas marginadas u olvidadas por la historia de la literatura, como otras admiradas y de reconocido prestigio internacional. Se pretender, asimismo, explorar la interacción de cuestiones de género y feministas, con otros factores de interés literario, tales como la sexualidad, roles de género y orientación sexual, el tándem entre el cuerpo y la mente de la mujer, el trauma, la salud mental, la maternidad, la etnicidad, la clase social, o la reivindicación de sus derechos civiles en el siglo XX.
This course contests the silencing of women and their exclusion from the canon of universal literature. It offers students an introduction to the wide spectrum of gender studies and feminist theory in English-speaking countries since the 1960s, in order to analyze, assess and reassess novels, short-stories, poems and other artistic expressions created by women from the end of the 19th century until today. To reconstruct the history of womens literature, this course rescues female authors fallen into oblivion, but it also focuses on those who enjoy scholarly prestige and popular recognition. Moreover, this course explores the interaction between gender and feminism with other factors of scholarly interest, such as sexuality, sexual orientation and gender roles, the tandem of female body and mind, trauma, mental health, motherhood, ethnicity, social class and the vindication of womens civil rights during the 20th century.Requisitos
Full command of the English language to follow the lectures, read the critical and literary works, participate in the virtual campus activities, and write the essay and the final exam.
