Course Content (Syllabus)
The seminar focuses on the subject “Art and gender”. It examines the relationship between gender and the production and interpretation of art works, as highlighted by feminist art history and theory combined with approaches from
psychoanalysis, semiology, poststructuralism, Marxism. The introductory lectures offer an analysis of the main tendencies of research and an overview of the basic bibliography, foreign and Greek. In subsequent weeks, the students
present their essays on various historiographical or theoretical subjects. Through discussion of specific examples from modern and contemporary art a series of issues are explored: the differentiation of women’s engagement with
art from that of men, the ideological construction of concepts such as male artist and female artist, the gendered dimensions of the images and of the gaze in art, the interaction of sexuality and race with the creation and reception of art works, the contribution of politics and movements to the emergence of new questions.
