How do politics connect to the various meanings of “sex?” That power inheres in relationships between individuals and society is well accepted: second-wave feminism’s insistence that “the personal is political” has proven true in a wide variety of ways. But the particularities and specifics of sex, including what exactly we mean by the term, are still undetermined and argued. Is sex an individual’s biology? A system of desires? A socially-constructed identity? The precise importance of politics in the creation, perpetuation, and distribution of these aspects depends intimately on what we mean when we use the term “sex.” This course asks all of these questions, paying specific attention to the interrelated natures of sex, gender, and sexuality. The course will address important social issues, many of which concern your own personal experience. Participation: 25% Midterm: 25% Final: 50% Poslední úprava: Ferguson Kennan, prof. (02.02.2026)
