Oral and written life narratives can illuminate human
experience historically and cross-culturally. Such personal
accounts also raise questions about how an individual
subjectivity is shaped by gender in different social and
historical contexts. This course looks at the intersection
of first person narratives and the wider world within which
experience is constituted. We will examine the relationships
between history, gender, and popular memory, as well as
social processes of silencing and forgetting. The class will
read and discuss individual accounts by women and men --
from a variety of places and periods -- in social,
historical, and feminist perspectives.
