Annotation
The aim of the seminar is to revisit the basic texts of the first waves of feminism that are still little known in the Czech context. We will focus on the texts whose radical features are forgotten as they recede into the past and are replaced by new thematizations of often the same, albeit differently named, problems (the main example will be Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex).
Overall, we will inquire into how feminist approaches transform traditional philosophical themes, whether it is the polarity of nature and culture, the nature of power, the notion of autonomy, or the notion of false consciousness.
