Lab Description

Gender, Empire, and Nationalism
Neferti Tadiar and Anupama Rao, Instructors

This Lab links Prof. Neferti Tadiar’s course, WMST W4303 “Gender, Globalization and Empire,” with Prof. Anupama Rao’s History course, HIST BC3803 “Gender and Empire.” The two courses examine gender and sexuality as an important lens through which to understand questions of empire, colonialism, and anti-colonial nationalism with a focus on the both history of the British Empire and contemporary practices of U.S. empire. Students explore the relationship between ideological and material structures of power and historical experience, and examine the relationship between categories such as race, class, religion, and sexuality in imperial contexts. “Gender, Globalization and Empire” provides a study of the role of gender in economic structures and social processes comprising globalization. “Gender and Empire” brings the perspectives of historians of gender, who have highlighted the importance of issues such as marriage, domesticity, respectability, and of female enfranchisement to the study of imperial governance. Both coures also examine the broad social consequences of these transformations and developments, particularly for marginalized groups and the various theoretical, political, social and cultural ways that women have challenged, resisted and addressed the dire implications of both globalization and empire.

Sections:

This lecture examines gender and sexuality as an important lens through which to understand questions of empire, colonialism, and anti-colonial nationalism. By so doing, the course brings the perspectives of historians of gender, who have highlighted the importance of issues such as marriage, domesticity, respectability, and of female enfranchisement to the study of imperial governance. Students will explore the relationship between ideological and material structures of power and historical experience, and examine the relationship between categories such as race, class, religion, and sexuality in imperial contexts.

In particular, we will examine contentious issues that shaped debates about women and gender including: domesticity; religion and secularism; demands for political rights and citizenship; cultural violence, and sexuality. The lecture course is organized around three broad periods: 1) the development of ideas of domesticity and conjugality in conjunction with the rise of racial states during the nineteenth century; 2) the development of gendered ideologies in colonial locales during the nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries, and 3) the impact of colonial configurations of gender and sexuality in shaping the “woman’s question” during and well after decolonization.  

While the readings for the class target issues specific to gender, class lectures will integrate your readings with historical perspectives on the period under study. Monday lectures will usually situate readings in the period under study, and provide information regarding key social, political, and economic transformations that inflected gender transformations.

Requirements

• Class participation
• Attend three evening lectures by authors we will be reading in class
• Two short three-page comments
• A final paper of 12-15 pages

Participation

1. Class Participation-Be prepared to be called upon to explain readings, or to break down into small discussion groups
2. Attend three evening lectures—February 7; February 26; and April 16. All events will run from 6-8PM. Attendance mandatory.  

Writing

1. TWO short comments of 3 pages during Weeks 4 (February 13) and 7 (March 11)
2. Final paper of 12-15 pages due during exam week. We will work through the writing process before final submission.

Note: You will work on this paper by producing a short draft of your paper (Week Twelve); present from a second, improved draft at a student conference (Week Fourteen), and hand in your final paper during exam week.

Details of final paper:

• Choose among three or four possible paper topics by Week 9. (Topics will be distributed during that week.)
• Complete a 5-8 page paper draft on Week Twelve. Papers due in class April 18, 2013.
• Work on the paper in consultation with teaching assistants Nishant Batsha, or rahul Sarwate and with Professor Rao.
• Present the main points of your paper at a student conference to be held during the final week of our course. (Note: Student conference will be held together with the students from Professor Tadiar’s “Gender, Empire, and Globalization” class.)

What is this draft? Simply put, we would like a short 3-4 page statement from you about:

• What is your research topic
• Why do you think it is significant (that is, what kinds of questions and issues does it allow you to explore) 
• What kind of a methodology will you use and what sources will you draw on (you might have a critical reading in mind, archival research, you may want to interview people)

You should then give us an annotated bibliography of 5-8 sources (a mix of books and essays, in at least equal proportion) that you believe are important for your topic. An annotated bibliography contains a brief precis of the author’s argument, and a note of what information and material s/he draws on. Think of writing at least a paragraph on each of your 5-8 sources that you choose to list. The idea is for us to get a sense of how you are conceptualizing the project, whether you have bound the idea so that you can explore it in 12-15 pages, and to show us that you have begun to think about sources well before paper due date. Newspapers, select online sites (including archival repositories), visual culture, built form, maps, interviews, as well as reliance on key secondary materials are all possible.

Reading Requirement

Student will average about 100 pages/week depending on the difficulty of readings.

Students who complete this course will learn how to:

1. Use and evaluate primary materials through critical reading and interpretation
2. Conduct close readings of key texts
3. Understand the difference between primary materials and historiography
4. Evaluate divergent perspectives in the understanding of the same event

Course Description

Study of the role of gender in economic structures and social processes comprising globalization and in the political practices of contemporary U.S. empire. We will explore the ways in which transformations in global political and economic structures over the last few decades – including recent political developments in the U.S. – have been shaped by gender, race, sexuality, religion and social movements. We will also examine the broad social consequences of these transformations and developments, particularly for marginalized groups. Finally, we will consider the various theoretical, political, social and cultural ways that women have challenged, resisted and addressed the dire implications of both globalization and empire. Topics for discussion include the feminization of labor; neoliberalism; war and torture; prison-systems and immigration; colonialism; racism and cultural difference; environmental politics; third world feminist movements and transnational social struggles.

CCIS Lab

This course forms part of a Consortium for Critical Interdisciplinary Studies Lab, “Gender and Empire,” organized in tandem with Professor Anupama Rao’s course, BC 3803, “Gender and Empire.” Students from both classes will come together on Weeks 3, 6, and 12 to discuss select readings and to participate in discussion following public lectures by scholars whose work they have read. Students from both courses will also present short papers on thematic panels in the final week of classes.

Course Requirements

• Students should complete the assigned readings in a timely manner and to come to seminar prepared to discuss them. This is a reading-intensive seminar. To prepare for discussion, you are required to post 1-page weekly responses to the readings on the discussion board on Courseworks. Your responses may highlight a concept, argument or perspective that you find compelling or problematic, pose questions, draw connections among the readings or develop thoughts of your own on a particular issue raised in the assigned material. Responses must be posted by 5 pm on the Monday before class. (Class participation, Weekly responses 25%)
• Students are required to make one brief oral presentation (10 minutes) on a selected week of readings and to submit a write-up of the presentation on the same day. (Oral and Written Presentation 15%)

Student Assignment 1

Gender and Empire, Spring 2013

(Batsha, Rao, Sarwate)

Due date: Response due in class Thursday, February 14, 2013.

Requirements:

Papers should be three-four pages; 12 point type; double-spaced; a decent margin around the page. Please proofread your work. Since we have all read the same texts, you can use the citational style of (author, page number) either within your text, or footnotes to support points and arguments. Broad dates and places are sufficient, but necessary for historical context. Please take a look at “how to read and write historical essays” for pointers.

Question:

“The body is a surface on which competing ideas of masculinity and femininity, and thus, of ideas of social power, are articulated/expressed.”

Debate and discussion regarding the control, ornamentation, and reproductive capacity of the female body (to name but a few issues) were central to the making of new creole and mestizo cultures in the Atlantic and Indian Ocean worlds between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. How did broad social and economic processes (e.g., political economy, ideas of race and culture, representations of femininity and the female body) influence the development of the politics of gender, sexuality, and family in the Atlantic World, on one hand, and the Indian Ocean World on the other?

You have two options in crafting your response.

1. The first is to think comparatively across Atlantic and Indian Ocean worlds, and to explore how and why shared social and economic processes, and projects of colonial domination manifest differences. 
2. The second gives you the option to focus on either Atlantic World slavery or hybrid Batavian society, and to give us a textured sense of the organization of gender, sexuality, and family relations in that space. In case you choose this option, we want you to focus on your primary readings (while drawing on secondary materials and class lecture) to explore the interconnection between the economic order (plantation slavery, or VOC trade), ideas of selfhood (humanitarianism, status hierarchies), representational strategies (travelogues, painting, ethnographic surveys), and emergent contradictions between metropole and colony. Do what extent did they rely on relations of gender, sexuality and family. In turn, what impact did they have on them?  

Student Assignment 2

Gender and Empire, Spring 2013

(Batsha, Rao, Sarwate)

Due date: Response due in class Thursday, March 14, 2013.

Requirements:

Papers should be 4-5 pages; 12 point type; double-spaced; a decent margin around the page. Please proofread your work. Since we have all read the same texts, you can use the citational style of (author, page number) either within your text, or footnotes to support points and arguments. Again, please take a look at “how to read and write historical essays” for pointers.

A central argument in The History of Sexuality concerns the nature and deployment of modern disciplinary power. We will recall that Foucault is particularly concerned with sites such as the school, the family, the prison, and the psychiatrist’s couch where discourses of cure, rehabilitation, and self-regulation provide cover for the exercise of power. His main concern here is to underline the productive, fecund nature of power, and to challenge the “repressive hypothesis.”

In this response, we would like you to draw on your understanding of Foucault’s argument about modern power, and extend it to a consideration of how sex work came to be regulated in colonial Nairobi. Did discourses of sanitation, control of public space, and social hygiene in Nairobi produce a discourse of sexuality in the manner Foucault described for Europe, and if so how? If you believe that such a discourse of sexuality was not produced, why not? Substantiate your argument in either instance by discussing how sex work was regulated (by others) and how it was organized (by the women).

Hint: Because this is a long, detailed, and dense text, you are welcome to take up one particular slice of time—e.g., the period during WWI, the period of wage depression when malaya prostitution changed, or the entry of Kikuyu and other women into the city at the turn of the centur—around which to organize your response.

Keep in mind that whatever period you choose: a) requires you to analyze it as a time when a significant change was underway as regards the lives of women, and b) to discuss the multiple actors (human and non-human!) that were involved in those transformations.
