Esotericism, Gender, and Sexuality

Education facts

Code: IS647E

What is the relationship between esotericism (e.g., astrology, alchemy, magic, freemasonry, tarot, and occultism) and issues of gender and sexuality? How have notions of sex, gender, and sexual identity been expressed within esoteric currents over time, and how has esotericism shaped – and been shaped by – political movements such as feminism and the LGBTQ movement? These are some of the questions discussed during this course, which explores the intersection of esotericism, gender, and sexuality. The course approaches esoteric currents as lived and dynamic, and emphasizes continuities as well as changes and points of tension. The course has digital meetings (via Zoom) at fixed times.<br> The course is completely web-based without physical meetings.
