Corporeal Motion - 10 Weeks

Tu+Fri, 6-8pm ET

10 weeks, Feb 3-April 11

This course explores human bodies in motion using theories of their social, political, cultural, and economic significance through and beyond aesthetic experience. Drawing insight from performance studies, ethnography, and dance, we examine themes of discipline, subversion, labor, pain, (dis)ability, and postcolonial identity. We consider the moving body as a site of discourse, power, and difference, while analyzing theories about its historical and cultural construction.
