課程概述

Course Description
This seminar focuses on the topic of agency in feminist contexts to further explore women’s resisting strategies inside the repressive patriarchal systems. In feminist discourses, the concept of agency implies the potential power to respond to or even resist the fixed gender norms. This seminar includes discussions of strategies of resistance that women may adopt in three specific aspects: body, performance, and sexuality. Theories proposed by Elizabeth Grosz, Erving Goffman, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, and Judith Butler will be discussed in detail to flesh out possible strategies of resistance through female agency. The seminar will be divided into two sections: the first section focuses on the plight that women face as they live under the constructed gender norms and patriarchal systems. Specific topics such as objectification, male gaze, and the normalization of body will be discussed in detail. The second part will take the concept of female agency as a point of departure to further investigate how women can come up with strategies of resistance in the realms of body, performance, and sexuality.

Course Objectives
