Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Course Description:The seminar will familiarize students with the major features of the history of Arab feminism and central concepts around it. We will discuss the modes of integration of feminism in the Near East into the global feminist movement. The seminar will also cover the debate between Islamic and secular feminisms. On the one hand, we will discuss anti-patriarchal interpretations of the Qur'an, which root feminism within Islam and apply methodologies which allow reading and interpreting religious texts against patriarchal perceptions. On the other hand, we will discuss the scholarship critical of feminist Islamic approach and instead speaks of feminism from secularist perspective. The seminar will also shed light on the following themes: policies of veiling and their perceptions in various contexts; interaction of Muslim law and human rights in the context of women’s rights; women’s role and activism during the Arab Spring, and the emergence of a new wave of feminism. Some sessions offer looking at specific countries and contexts and discuss pertinent themes through case studies (such as Egypt, Iran, Western countries). Throughout the seminar, we will touch upon concepts such as gender, postcolonialism, and secularism.
