Are we free? How is being free different from being liberated, whether corporeally, sexually, religiously, or nationally? This course considers such questions by examining theories and theologies of liberation, from Latin American liberation theologies and Islamic feminisms and anticolonial movements to Third World liberation struggles, the Gay Liberation Front, and the Black Freedom movement. How have liberation movements defined what liberation was and how was this liberation imagined or critiqued along lines of gender and sexuality? Who or what is the subject of liberation and can there be individual liberation without collective liberation? Using an expansive feminist lens, we will discuss these histories, theories, and theologies in relation to issues of violence/nonviolence; religion/secularity; art and aesthetics; gender, sex, and sexuality; and power. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
