| AIM OF THE COURSE |
On completion of the course, the student should be able to
- demonstrate knowledge of how people represent and interpret gender and gender differences in relation to religious traditions and ideas in a couple of different social contexts and different cultures,
- account for how gender and religion, and the relation them between, are analysed within three different disciplines - religious studies, social anthropology and philosophy,
- analyse a couple of case studies and current debates by means of this knowledge. |
| CONTENTS |
The course is organised in four sections:
Introduction of the three disciplines and their specific perspectives on the relation between gender and religion. How other cultures may understand religion and gender in other ways than we are used to in the (modern) western model. Simone de Beauvoir's book The Second Sex and the religion scientific, socio-anthropological and philosophic questions it raises. An example of a discussion of ethical issues from a clear gender perspective. |
