What is theory? What is the relation of feminism and
theory? These large questions will be addressed in this
course, which will focus on contemporary developments in
feminist theory. We will consider how feminist theorists
have understood the significance of sexual difference and
will discuss how feminism is articulated with theories of
representation, subjectivity, and history. In the process,
we will attend to how "difference," and "differences" work
conceptually and politically, paying particular attention to
the complex relations of gender, racial, and class
differences.
