Feminisms are usually taught in discrete national contexts when, in fact, the intellectual trajectory of feminism has been international. This course aims to demonstrate the mutual influence and different perspectives generated among Anglophone and Francophone feminist intellectuals and activists after the events of 1968. We will focus on some of feminism's central questions--sexuality, violence, race, and postcoloniality--with an eye to intersectional, as well as divergent, articulations within each tradition. |
