This course is a devised as a discussion class in which all 2nd-year MA students of Gender Studies, Czech and international, meet together to collectively re-read and discuss texts from obligatory courses in the graduate programme for gender studies that teachers have identified as being of key relevance for the MA state exam. The course is taught in English and emphasis is placed on the ability of all students to present, discuss and argue in academic English.
The seminar is devised as a space for slowing down and re-visiting some key propositions including enduring conundrums such as the tangled relations between sex and gender, biology and society, body and mind, culture and economy, binarity and non-binarity. A central proposition of the course is that past interpretations do not exhaust the range of possibilities, and a feminist future still gets made in the present, and that when we re-read these texts together with texts from other classes and with readers from a range of different societal contexts new activations, connections and possibilities might open up. We will also use methods such as concept speed dating to explore key concepts and learn from each other.
