Women's Studies 307 This course will look at Orientalism as a historical discourse as a way of framing the representation of Asian women in American culture. We will look
at the historical representations of Asian women in the U.S. beginning with the turn of the century world's fairs and the immigration of “picture brides,” wartime and
postwar incarnations of the “dragon lady” in popular culture (in cartoons and through the figures of “Tokyo Rose” and Yoko Ono), and the work of contemporary Asian
American feminist performance, installation, and spoken word artists who engage in self-reflexive critiques of Asian American Orientalism in their creative work. |
