CORE 003 SC - Virgins and Goddesses
Students explore the ways in which the Virgin Mary has been constructed socially and historically at key moments in the Catholic Church’s history and how these values have been used to categorize womanhood. By examining this model of femininity and maternity, we will unpack the categories that define and limit current debates around such questions as gender roles, sexuality, and reproductive rights. A main focus will be on how Chicana feminist artists and theorists recuperate the goddess in an attempt to redefine the most widely recognized female religious icon.
Instructor: R. Alcala
