Eistenstein (Ed.), Capitalist","inLanguage":"en"}]} Kurz zoznamuje študentky a študentov so základnými pojmami a argumentmi feministických teórií. Ťažisko kurzu tvorí objasnenie hlavných diskusií v tzv. prvej a druhej vlne feminizmu. V tomto zmysle sleduje spojenie feminizmu s ďalšími dominantnými politickými ideológiami 19. a 20. storočia – liberalizmom a socializmom. Ďalej predstavuje zásadný príspevok k teoretickému uchopeniu rodového poriadku (genderového řádu), ktorý predstavil radikálny feminizmus druhej vlny, ako aj komplexnosť spojenia uchopenia rodového (genderového) útlaku v spojitosti so sexualitu, „rasou“ a etnicitou. V závere sa zameriava na dôsledné objasnenie chápania performativity rodu a rekapituluje pojem rod (gender) a od neho odvodené pojmy opisujúce rodové (genderové) usporiadanie spoločnosti.Sylabus
