Course Title: Topics in German Studies: 'Fascism, Gender and Sexuality: Gender and Far-Right Movements in 20th Century Europe'
Start Date: 09/06/2023 End Date: 12/19/2023
Term: Fall Semester 2023
Description: This course explores the use of gender in historical and contemporary fascist movements, examining the ways in which fascist movements construct images of "masculine" and "feminine" to shape ideology. We will look at the rhetoric of gender equity to enforce regression and oppression systems, and how these rhetorics are used as tools to enforce xenophobic and racist narratives against immigrants to the United States and Europe. This course will incorporate theoretical readings from political and social histories of 20th century Europe, gender and sexuality, as well as media sources like film, journalism and social media.
