This course explores the genealogy of "transnational
feminism." It is designed for those who are interested
in the issues of race, gender, class, and sexuality but
especially in such transnational contexts as
colonialism, migration, human rights and globalization.
The primary objective is to help students formulate
their own theoretical locations while being acquainted
with the central discussions of transnational feminism.
We will explore the following questions: What makes
transnational feminism critically distinctive? Is it
simply another re-territorializing move on the part of
some feminist scholars? If not, what are the questions
the transnational feminist perspective can ask that
cannot be addressed otherwise? How is transnational
feminism related intellectually, politically, and
historically to other named feminist formations,
including radical feminism, liberal feminism,
postcolonial feminism and women of color feminism? What
are the critical gaps and differences within the
discourse of transnational feminism? What were the
specific historical and intellectual conjunctures that
led to the articulation of transnational feminism in
the first place? We will explore the above questions by
reading some seminal works as well as recent monographs
and collections of essays.
