Sex and the City of Light: Early 20th-Century Women in Paris
Instructor: Adeline Soldin
Course Description:
Cross-listed with WGSS 301-01. This course in comparative literature and visual culture investigates the city of Paris as a site of sexual and artistic exploration, liberation, and confrontation for women of the early 20th-Century. Students will study a variety of literature, visual art, performance art, and haute couture created and produced by women from diverse backgrounds who came to Paris in search of free self-expression. Most of these writers, journalists, artists, dancers, and designers knew each other; many collaborated professionally and mingled socially; and some became involved romantically. We will discuss the implications of their professional, social, and intimate relationships and consider to what extent these networks may have fostered artistic creation as well as political activism. To facilitate these investigations, students will read feminist and queer theory to deepen and strengthen our analyses.
