In this probably most cheerful seminar of the dark and miserable winter term we will study a range of outstanding British and American female artists who were very gifted and yet -or therefore- suffered from depression. All of these lives ended in an untimely death, presumably self-inflicted.
We will analyze biographies and excerpts from the women's respective work, (re-)consider female erotization and iconization, evaluate women's artistic power in a predominantly male business and polemize a biologically determined disposition to develop mental illnesses. Apart from the artists listed above students are welcome to suggests further writers or actresses to enrich the program.
For 2 LP regular attendance, participation in class discussion and small in-class projects are mandatory, for 3 LP students can give a presentation or write a term paper.
