Institution:

California Institute of Integral Studies

Subject:

Description:

This course excavates practices and discourses of self and sexuality through cross-cultural and historical inquiry. How do inherited legacies of Christianity and human science inform contemporary relations to the body, pleasure, identity, and community in the Western world How are these forces resisted or reproduced in liberation movements organized around gender and sexuality How are experiences and understandings of subjectivity and sexuality mediated by nation, history, language, race, class, gender, and power What can we learn from an examination of cultural differences regarding these issues among indigenous peoples in New Guinea and North America, or through an analysis of diverse movements and issues in global contexts
