Description

In this module, we shall examine the representation of women in Orientalist paintings by Gérôme and Delacroix, in the ‘erotic’ post cards compiled by Malek Alloula in Le Harem colonial, in literary texts by André Gide, Albert Camus and Assia Djebar, in the filmic narrative of Pontecorvo, as well as in the theoretical and critical works of Frantz Fanon, Pierre Bourdieu and Tahar Ben Jelloun. By focusing on these visual and textual narratives the aim of this option is to probe and problematise the intersections of gender, race and sexuality.Ìý
