Dersin Amacı

The course introduces students to major theories, concepts, and debates of feminist literary studies. The readings will be mainly theoretical. The survey of selected feminist literary theories seek to provide a solid overview of those theories that have crucially changed the way we interpret literature in relation to gender. Most of the readings will cover the second half of the twentieth century, the time of groundbreaking contributions to feminist literary theory debates. Since theory and fiction should be always read in conversation, the theoretical framework will be supplemented by fictional texts that are likewise considered as significant landmarks in literature by women.

Dersin İçeriği

Some questions to be considered are: What does it mean to read literature through the lens of gender, why does it matter and how is it done? Are texts written and read differently by female and male writers/readers? What are gender stereotypes in fiction and how can they be resisted and revised? How do adventures of female and male fictional characters differ? What alternative endings can we imagine for female protagonists if we reject conventional ones, such marriage or death? Why has there been traditionally a scarcity of female authors? What is the position of women writers in the canon, in academia, or the literary market, is this position changing, and what are the main catalysts of these changes?
