Περιγραφή Μαθήματος
The course explores the work of American women poets of the 20th and 21st century, investigating topics such as society and textuality, gender and cultural production, racial and ethnic identity, as well as the interaction between femininity and other dimensions of individual and collective identity. The course focuses on the woman as the subject and creator of cultural influences as well as on poetic writing as a palimpsest of texts that shape our perception of gender and identity. The selected poems are examined on the basis of modern and postmodern theories in an effort to explore the status and function of poetry in (contemporary) society.
