Course Description
Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2024-2025.
What does it mean to be embodied? In this course, we explore the diverse ways in which Greek and Roman artists and authors crafted ideas about the human body and embodied experience in their arts and letters. Shifting attitudes conveyed in poetic, philosophical, political, theological, and medical works provide the basis for class readings and assignments. How were ancient understandings of the body tied to issues of age, gender, sex, race, and class? We will address the connections between human and divine figures, as well as the living and the dead. By being sensitive to the cultural contexts of embodiment, we will attune ourselves to the particularities of our own authorial identities.
