Course Description
Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2016-2017.
In this course we will examine the often convoluted meanings and uses of the "body" in seventeenth-century literature and ideology. From the "glorious body" of the king, the tormented body of possessed nuns, the transvestitic body of the Abbé de Choisy to the bodies of the first "modern" pornographic novels, we will attempt to trace how these bodies in constant transformation come up against and challenge the notions of Classical order and reason that Absolutist ideology attempts to impose on structures, ideas, artistic and social forms that these unruly bodies constantly undermine.
