Expanded Course Description
| A course on contemporary feminist phenomenology is necessarily taught in relation to the texts of Simone de Beauvoir and Maurice Merleau-Ponty, the first being often credited with having inaugurated the practice and the second having been one of its most significant influences. We will read some key passages from these two thinkers, but focus on themes and works in contemporary feminist phenomenology. We will emphasize themes of spatiality (or space-experience), temporality (or time-experience), affect and materiality. We will consider phenomenological method and what changes it undergoes when it becomes critical and feminist. Because I take feminist phenomenology to be an instance of the broader movement of critical phenomenology, we will begin the class with an effort to understand how critical phenomenology both builds on and is distinct from the classical phenomenological tradition. Early on in the course, each student will choose a particular phenomenon that is of concern in feminist contexts and conduct their own phenomenological study as a requirement for the course. They will receive coaching (particularly in relation to method or practice) and do several “benchmark” assignments related to their study over the course of the term. |
