22911124 - HISTORY OF WOMEN AND GENDER

To introduce to a methodologically and thematically heterogeneous field of inquiry;
Examine the dominant historiographical approach to political, social and and economic history that has privileged microhistorical aspects, conjunctures and structures in which the female role has been marginal or absent;
Develop critical analytical skills on the nature and possibilities of women's own history, methodological issues and the status of sources;
Conduct a critical-conceptual discourse with respect to the redefinition of gender history as the social organization of gender relations, gender relations and the power exercised by gender differentiation and with respect to the more recete concept of intersectionality.

Programma

The course reconstructs the intellectual and historiographical path that led to the introduction of the category of gender, during the 1980s, profoundly marking the path taken by women's history for a decade already. The analysis of the role attributed to the category of gender in modern societies makes it possible to grasp gender differences and relations as structural elements of contemporary societies. The course analyzes the problem of unequal treatment of women, raising multiple questions related to the gender gap such as women's suffrage, women's wage labor and women's education. Prominent in the course is the role played by women's organizations and the feminist movement in boosting women's political and civil rights and improving their position in society and the labour world.
