230599 Tangled in the Discourse - The Politics and Representations of Hair (Stud.AG) (SoSe 2020)

Contents, comment

In this study group
we will look at hair (of any texture) and its meaning as a cultural product and read hair as “text” to find answers to our guiding questions from a feminist-criticism point-of-view:

- How does hair work as a marker of identity in terms of gender, race, class, ethnicity, (mental) health and more?
- How are ideologically informed discourses around these markers represented in (pop-cultural) media? And how do these representations shape broader public discourses around hair in turn?
- How can we analyse and interpret hair in different representations to find out how these discourses are perpetuated or potentially subverted?

Requirements for participation, required level

This study group offers the chance to gain 3 LP for Internationalisation@Home by taking part in the classroom discussion and handing in an essay draft of approx. 1200 words together with a short reflection letter. We´ll elaborate on the requirements in the first session.
