The starting point of this course is cultural gender stereotypes as portrayed by the Barbie movie (2023, by Greta Gerwig). The course aims to analyse these stereotypes in the context of medieval culture, demonstrating their continuity and transformations till the present day.
The course aims to deepen the knowledge of (not only) ancient and medieval history by looking at particular cultural and social aspects. Secondly, its objective is to teach how to discern gender roles and stereotypes, their historical conditions and changes across various contexts. Finally, it wants to develop in participants their analytical skills in reading primary sources and secondary (scholarly) literature. |
