Description of contents: programme
The main objective of this subject about feminism(s) is for students to achieve an acquaintance sufficiently analytical with the developments of the feminist theories and the forms of activisms supporting them in the last two centuries. In is essential to know the reasons of the feminist answer, and its diverse modulations, by covering not only the standard modalities of feminism, but also the different approaches of the LGTBI and queer studies. In this sense, a syllabus for this subject should include the following topics: 1) A general introduction, going through the recognizable types of feminism, post-feminism, hegemonic feminisms, mainstream feminism. 2) A revision of the genealogies of exclusion. 3) An analysis of notions as the dichotomies private/public, equality/difference. 4) A revision of the conceptions of sex and genders, as key notions for the opposition nature/discourse. 5) A revision of the queer status, as a deconstruction of binaries. 6) A reflection about the concept of intersectionality and de off-center feminisms, in the context of post-colonial or de-colonial views
