21W.738[J] Intersectional Feminist Memoir
[______]
[Not offered academic year 2023-2024][Undergrad] ([Fall]) [HASS Humanities]
(Same subject as WGS.238[J]<http://student.mit.edu/catalog/mWGSa.html#WGS.238>)
Prereq: None
Units: 3-0-9
Lecture: MW10-11.30 (4-251<http://whereis.mit.edu/map-jpg?mapterms=4>)
[______]
Explores the memoir genre through a feminist intersectional lens, looking at the ways in which feminist writers ground personal experience within a complex understanding of race, gender, sexuality, class, ethnicity, immigration status/nationality, and dis/ablity. Gives particular attention to the relationships between the personal and the political; form and content; fact, truth, and imagination; self and community; trauma and healing; coming to voice and breaking silence. Readings include books by Audre Lorde, Janet Mock, Daisy Hernandez, Jessica Valenti, and Ariel Gore, and shorter pieces by Meena Alexander and Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha. Drawing on lessons taken from these works, students write a short memoir of their own.
