This course is designed to introduce students to social and psychological theories and research regarding differences and similarities between women and men and the effects of gender in social situations. Students will learn to understand the complexity of gendered experiences in the social settings and will examine the ways in which the male - female distinction has been assigned meanings and a significance that have specific implications for almost all aspects of social life (especially for work, family life, intimate relationships, and leisure). 

Organized as an interactive seminar, this course will acknowledge the multiplicity of personal experience and scientific phenomenon within gender studies. Students will be challenged to critically examine ways in which gender is constructed within society and will be encouraged to engage in self-reflection and dialogue.

O curso pretende apresentar alguns impasses envolvendo as políticas da memória na estética contemporânea, sobretudo, a questão do dever de memória. Para tanto, discutiremos a possibilidade ou a impossibilidade de uma miríade de "imagens" em relação ao conceito de sublime e aos problemas que a imagem fotográfica impõe, tais como os limites do representável, a distância entre espectador e acontecimento, padrões patéticos de representação considerados toleráveis, assim como as controvérsias da imagem entre o espectro de um dever de memória e o espetáculo cotidiano do trauma.

As aulas serão ministradas pelo Google Meet.
