Course contents
Women and Feminists: Individuality, Aggregations, Reflections, and Informal and Formal Movements from Women's Liberation to the Agitation of the New Generations
In AY 2019/20 the course on Ethics and Politics, now in its 15th edition, will introduce gender studies to students of both sexes and to the community at large thanks to an agreement between the University of Bologna and the Orlando Association, which manages the city's Centre for Women.
The course will be held in the former Convent of Santa Cristina della Fondazza, where several university departments are located, as well as the Centre for Women. Its purpose is to underscore the distinguishing traits of women's thought and action in Italy from the anti-Fascist resistance to movements, like "Non Una di Meno," that promote global mobilization in a variety of ways, including by calling for strikes. What emerges from this survey is a fabric interwoven with the relations and forms of subjectivity promoted by women, as well as with their cultural and scholarly production and their effort to advance the law.
The course will include lectures on the history, thought, and law pertaining to affective, intellectual, working, and social relationships among women. Figures and movements of feminism will be presented that have changed mindsets and lives, to which end the course will be inviting female jurists, historians, literati, political scientists, and experts in other pertinent fields.
Investigating the question of what has changed in womens' lives in Italy makes it necessary to close some knowledge gaps, without neglecting the diversity among the women who are speaking out against the structural and contingent violence that strikes them (and others as well), a diversity that can be seen in their means of action, their cultural background, and the freedoms they have advocated for over the years they have devoted to these issues.
Class will be held on Mondays and Tuesdays from 5 to 7 PM, from October 7 to November 25, 2019, in Room 5 of the Convent of Santa Cristina in Piazzetta Morandi 2.
