Feminism is not static. As an idea and orientation toward the world it both opposes patriarchal male privilege and exists in a contested space over what feminism actually means. This course seeks to unpack the complex ideas behind feminism while also examining its profound influence on 20th- and 21st-century art-making. Students will read and explore key texts in the history of feminist thought by diverse thinkers and artists such as Adrian Piper, Mary Wollstonecraft, Virginia Woolf, Catalina de Erauso, Juana Inés de la Cruz, Christine de Pizan, Maria W. Stewart, Nancy Fraser and Stephanie Coontz. Together, we will form a rigorous and nuanced understanding of what feminism was, is, and might be - and, most crucially for this course, what the emancipatory struggle that defines feminism means for a new generation of artists.
