H48.1034 Lecture 4 Credits
Instructor(s): K. Finley
H48.1034.001 (Junior and Senior Undergraduates Only)
Mondays, 2-4:45pm
This class will focus on the lives and contributions of women who have challenged the status quo with their unique self-expression. These women are all examples of a cultural Rorshak test where the culture projects the fear of losing power onto the profile of the individuals. The lives and talents become mutually exclusive of “A Realized Self” that becomes legend, a phenomenon, an archetype that society embraces on a pedestal with accompanying ridicule. We will use these women’s lives and the times they lived in as a departure point to understand the climate of fear that coupled their grip of national attention and neglect.
Via lecture, assigned readings, study of their art and trouble making we will learn our heroine’s history and the mark she made on a political world.
This course will count toward general education requirements for TSOA students (Humanities).
