Sarah Bernhardt portrait

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
Instructor:  Brett Rutherford.
