This week we will read some more Spivak (her interpretation of Mahasweta Devi's “Breast-Giver") and an excerpt from the work of the anthropologist Nancy Scheper-Hughes about the violence of everyday life in Brazil. You'll write papers looking @ gender issues in one particular location in the world, with instructions to "ground" your theorizing about how gender operates in a specific history and culture.

Along the way, please visit this forum and propose some suggestions for what we might read together as the semester ends. What topics, what texts might continue to expand (or perhaps help to refine?) your sense of critical feminist studies?
