Comment/Description

In the last years, debates about new material feminisms and concepts of materiality have emerged. This course will examine current strands within Feminist research that combine Marxist/materialist analyses, insights from Gender, Post-/Decolonial, Queer/Trans*, Indigenous, Political Ecology Studies and critiques of Science and Technology. Guided by the question how to think the material/natural/physical/environmental and the social together in an intersectional complex way we will discuss different approaches on the production of gender, bodies, and natures together with notions of matter, materiality, and meaning. A special focus will be placed on the topic of climate change and population policies from a critical feminist material(ist) point of view.
