Feminist Cultural Productions

6 credits · Undergraduate

(3 hrs Seminar/Discussion) This interdisciplinary course explores a wide range of cultural practices such as performance, poetry, zines, crafting, street art, video and film, radio, spoken word, comics, and hypertext, to develop connections among artistic practices and feminist theory. To understand the economic, political and social conditions that women artists face, we investigate cultural production by women artists and critically engage a wide range of feminist culture and practices. We explore concepts such as interpretation, representation, cultural production, appropriation, censorship, voice, the body, identity, cultural democracy, and cultural resistance. Topics may vary. Students develop their own creative work. Cross-listed: WGS-4040(6). Restrictions: Students may not hold credit for this course and WGS-4040.
