Primary & Secondary school teachers
- To raise awareness about gender differences in different times.
- To propose an unconventional reading of Romeo and Juliet and pose further questions to reflect on spaces and places in other celebrated works.
- To provide an interdisciplinary approach combining the study of places and spaces with Spatial Theories and the study of the construction of sexuality and gender.
In Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet spaces and places are defined by Patriarchy, which creates, reproduces and legitimises a system of walls where female erotic power is enclosed in an attempt to be controlled. In this course, such system will be explored with aid from Geocriticism and feminist criticism to understand notions such as space and place and how those can be laden with genderedbiased meanings. The system of walls where female erotic power is enclosed consists of five spaces and places: outside, inside the city walls, inside the house walls, inside the chamber walls and inside the female body. The exploration of these different places and spaces will allow the reader of the paper to understand how power was organised and controlled.
The session will consist of a lecture followed by some suggestions for further analysis and short discussion. Ideas to adapt the material for secondary schools will be discussed as well.
