The course aims to provide students with the basic knowledge and skills needed to analyze issues related to gender discrimination and violence in a multidisciplinary perspective. In particular, we intend to provide tools to develop the capacity for critical analysis of the phenomenon of gender discrimination from an historical point of view and as juridical structure. We will be focusing on the Virility, which is a normative model, an archetype, a cultural construction. Our focus on hierarchy of the sexes and subsequent violence against women will require that students to cultivate an intersectional and interdisciplinary understanding of the topic. In other words, students will learn to understand how the topic of ‘gender violence’ transverses multiple conversations, including those about masculinity, virility, the social role of women and the (im)possible end of the war of the sexes. The course will include an in-depth analysis of the methods, tools and processes by which gender differences can be managed in ancient societies (specially in Roman world).
