Purpose and description of the content of education:
The module proposes elective subjects in the field of gender studies within an intersectional perspective. The proposed subjects will provide students with an introduction to the issues concerning critical research on the socio-cultural aspects of the construction of human and non-human identities beyond an anthropocentric framework. The reflection on the reproduction of social inequalities will take into account the interplay of multiple components, such as gender, sexuality, race, class, ethnicity, entangled in the relations of power and economics. Students will develop the skills to analyse the ways in which different gender and sexual identities are represented in broad contemporary cultural texts such as literature, theatre, performance, film, electronic media, visual arts, etc., particularly taking into account their multiple connections to environmental, ecological, climate policies.
