Description

This intensive text reading seminar aims to explore formative texts for the interdisciplinary study of religion within the humanities and the qualitative and conceptual studies in the social sciences, in particular from gender-critical, postcolonial, and post-secular perspectives. It focuses on the multiple and changing manifestations of religion in diverse social and cultural contexts, and it investigates religion from the intersection of feminist, sexuality, queer, masculinity and diversity studies. For 2024-2025, the theme is "Who’s Afraid of Gender?". This course explores philosopher's Judith Butler new book Who’s Afraid of Gender, in relation to global anxieties over ‘gender ideology’, for instance in discourses emerging from the Vatican and political disputes of trans rights.
