Additional information / Pre-requisites
Comments
How did West German feminists understand their relationship to women in the 'Third World' and to migrant women in Germany? What was the significance of colonialism for the conceptualisation of sexual oppression and the reflection of female perpetration? And what conflicts were fought over the representation of minorities, differences between women and racism and exclusion within the women's movement? The seminar is dedicated to these questions and we will discuss case studies as well as contemporary theoretical and political texts. While it would be great if some of the participants could read German in order to enrich the discussion with examples based on German sources, the course can be attended without any knowledge of German.
