DESCRIPTION
Current movements such as #MeToo, #NiUnaMenos, international women's strikes on March 8, or the debates surrounding laws on trans people's rights show the relevance that gender and sexuality are gaining in contemporary societies all over the world. The objective of this course is to analyze the main problems related to gender, sexuality, the body, and diversity in the context of an increasingly globalized planet. With 'Past and Present,' we refer to two fundamental aspects in which the course will deepen: 1) the legitimation of stereotypes and issues related to gender, sexuality, the body and diversity through the un-critical projection of the current logics to the past; and 2) the incorporation of historical trajectories and perspectives in order to understand in all their complexity the mechanisms that originated and perpetuate the problems covered in the course.
