SPS/01 - POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY
Period
Sem. IA dal Sep 28, 2015 al Nov 8, 2015.
Learning outcomes
Western political thought has for a long time concealed sexual differences behind the principle of the alleged equality of all individuals before the law. This course provides examples of critical philosophies that, on the contrary, have interrogated the relationship between politics and sexuality from the point of view of so-called “sexual minorities”, and that have consequently developed new interpretative frames to understand the subject, the collectivity, and the political action.
Program
Course title: A Spectre is Haunting Europe… On the Uses and Abuses of the Concept of “Gender”
Course content: The course aims to provide an overview of the theoretical debates around the concept (or better, the conceptual device) of “gender” which developed after its diffusion in medicine, psychiatry, academic knowledge production, the public sphere and social movements. The point of departure will be the on-going polemic, in Europe and Italy, around the so-called “ideology of gender”, which reveals how the category of gender coagulates the hostility of Vatican elites and certain catholic movements toward the achievement of rights for feminist women and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual/transgender, queer, and intersex people.
