This course offers an outline of the ways in which a largely modernist liberal feminist scholarship of the 1970s that focused on white Ashkenazi middle-class women have transformed into a critical postcolonial body of work that explores the multiple marginalization of women along class, color, religiosity and sexual preference. We shall explore the process that has redefined the nature of knowledge production within Israeli feminism through reading of selected essays that have debated Mizrahi, Palestinian and Lesbian voices moving from an essentialist focus on ‘gender’ as the key concept for analysis to a critical, vibrant anti-essentialist discourse that links gender to other axis of social inequality. We shall ask how do concepts like marriage, labor, nationalism, masculinity or motherhood get redefined in the process of this Israeli scholarly transformation? We will close with a contemplation about the differences between the small Israeli feminist scene and its parallel and influential US-based feminist discourse. Meets with ANTH 399.
