This course examines, through gender and postcolonial theory, the (self)representations of women, with a focus on eroticism, passion, but also on separation, violence, and pain. In the process, it presents different feminist approaches to the complex interplay of affect, emotion, and feeling, focusing on the emergence of a new, empowered female subject. It does so also through reflecting on what prejudices and stereotypes surround femininity, sexuality and creativity.
