ART 361 - Saints and She-Devils (1)

Examination of some of the most common depictions of women during the late Medieval and Renaissance periods, beginning with Eve and the Virgin Mary. Themes include popular images of the hag, the witch, and the prostitute as well as other depictions that demonstrate how man is led astray by feminine wiles and “the exotic other.” Comparisons between Judaism, Islam, and Christianity are addressed. Readings span from the Bible and Thomas Aquinas to contemporary scholars in gender studies. This course also counts towards the GSS major. Prerequisite: Writing designated (W) course or GSS 171 . Alternate years. No alternate grade option. [AH]
