PLSI - 3467 Feminist Political Theory
Description
An analysis of canonical and creative works of feminist political theory, through the lens of the figure of the witch. This political theory course reads “the witch” (and stories about witches) as attempts to cultivate a new political imaginary and bring alternative normative ideals down to the ground of political reality. If political theory is a subfield that is traditionally focused on the world-building power of words, we ask: how does the figure of the witch take some of the subfields’ traditional concerns in very untraditional directions?
