Course Description

The course explores debates regarding the construction of gender in Islam, with a focus on contemporary cultural productions. It examines historical and literary representations, ethnographic narratives, legal and human rights discourses, politics of veiling, and Islamic feminism. This course situates Muslim women as complex, multidimensional actors engaged in the production of knowledge, art, and active participants of political and feminist struggles, as opposed to the static victim-centered, Orientalist images that have regained currency in the representation of Muslim women beginning in the post 9/11 era. This course draws on broad range of multimedia from comic books and novels, to documentaries and movies.
