This course explores the diverse experiences that surround motherhood in British and Irish literature, television, and film, from the 20th and 21st centuries — from Mina Loy to „Fleabag“. Students will engage with representations of child loss, infertility, stepmotherhood, queer and adoptive parenting, abortion, canonical and non-canonical maternal roles, examining how these narratives reflect and reshape cultural understandings of the maternal.
Methodologically, the course draws on feminist scholarship, cultural studies, and embodied approaches to literature and film.
