FWS:Dissecting The Body

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.

If you could look inside your own body, would you be puzzled, fascinated, utterly disgusted?  When dissection became legal in the Renaissance, scientists and writers set out to explore the intricacies of the human body.  This course investigates the ways science influence literature just as literature helped shape science between 1500 and 1700.  What do monstrous bodies tell us about physical norms?  What is pain?  How do gender and sexuality play into medical and literary treatises, and English translations of Montaigne and Rabelais.  Following in the footsteps of adventurous anatomists, you will dissect bodies of text and learn to analyze, organize and artfully display your findings.  Not for the faint of heart.

When Offered Fall.
