Advanced Topics in Women's Studies: The Diva (3 Units)
WMS 490 -- Section 0200 -- Course # 11810
Advanced Topics in Women's
Studies: The Diva. This course focuses on the evolving persona
of The Diva, from Sarah Bernhardt to Madonna, and explores how these
accomplished women artists use their status as privileged outsiders to
break new ground for women. Divas defy social and sexual norms and
inspire women to aspire to a fully-lived life. This course will focus
on a select group of 19th- and 20th-century Divas, in their own words
and those of their biographers and critics, placing them in the context
of the theater, music and literature of their times, and against the
tumultuous politics and wars between post-Napoleonic Europe and
present-day America. These figures, and texts, will be read against the
concurrent struggles for women's equality and human rights. Subjects of
the course will be Sarah Bernhardt, Isadora Duncan, Maria Callas, Eva
Peron, Madonna, and Divine.
This course runs Sept. 9 to Dec. 11
