女性主義專題：置疑家庭 EL6012 Topics in Feminisms: querying family DING Naifei Place: C2-437 Time: Tuesday 1400-1700 Office: A204 x33230 dingnf@cc.ncu.edu.tw subject heading: EL6012+yourname . Questions we will begin with: how key critical texts (Engels, Zaretsky, Donzelot, Rubin, John, Barrett & McIntosh, Stolcke, Steedman) formulate the relations between and among family, capitalism, state, and the social. What do theoretical and fictional stories centering on family, including feminist and psychoanalytic stories, say about the relations among wives, mothers, and daughters insofar as these are enmeshed in complex layered historical and geopolitical matrices? At what point and to what extent do class, non/reproductive sexuality and race-ethnicity (not) come into these stories of women in families? Requirements: Weekly responses 30% Oral presentations 20% Midterm essay 20% Final essay 30% The weekly response is a short (1-2 pages) analysis of the treatment or representation of a relevant issue in the assigned text. The issue will be assigned with the reading for the week. The response should never be a general description of the text, but your own focused engagement with it. I want to see how you read the text, bringing your own knowledge to bear on it while also making use of the material introduced and discussed in class. The presentations on theoretical texts will present the main thesis and argument and place this within the concerns of the seminar by reading aloud key passages and explicating them, making connections to related issues in other texts we have covered, and bringing up thoughtful questions for the class to discuss. Presentations on cultural texts should provide an analysis of the text by utilizing the theoretical frameworks from previous readings. The task is to see how the literary and theoretical texts can be made to speak to each other, and what useful insights might emerge from their combination. Presentations should take approximately 40-50 minutes (or the first hour of the seminar, not including discussion of the questions). Papers: The midterm paper will be on an assigned topic covering the readings from the first unit of the course. The final paper topics will be proposed by students, preferably drawing on the work they have done in the second and third units. Papers should show what students have learned over the course of the seminar, and their own thinking on the materials. Papers must be turned in on time to receive full points. Failure to turn in the final paper will result in a grade of 0 for the course. Plagiarism: A plagiarized response will result in a failing grade for that response with no chance to make it up. The same goes for a plagiarized midterm paper. A plagiarized final paper will result in a grade of 0 for the course. Textbooks: Readers for each unit will be available at Gaoguan. The first week』s reading is available online. Students will be responsible for getting their own copies of the novels.
