Women and the Arts

CMS 4810


In this course, we will explore the role of women as
artists, spectators, and representations in the visual,
literary, and performing arts. Our primary category of
analysis in Women & the Arts is gender, the
socially constructed and historically variable understanding
of what it means to be a woman or man, but we will further
consider how this category interacts with race, class,
and sexuality in the arts. Likewise, a central idea in our
class is that knowledge and images conveyed through
artistic texts are not neutral; rather, the arts socialize
and discipline us even as they entertain and enlighten us.
