Credits: 3 Prerequisites: None Corequisites: None Type: SEM Introduces various philosophical and theoretical accounts of the body. The concept of the body is generally relegated to a secondary or subordinate category relative to the privilege of mind or Reason in the history of Western thought. Examines the work of a number of theorists who have questioned and problematized the subordination of body to mind. The course is divided into four parts. Part one introduces and selectively surveys the ways in which the body (and mind) have been formulated in modern Western thought. Part two focuses on phenomenological and psychoanalytic concepts of the lived body, the body of experience or the corporeal schema. Part three examines the body as a (writing) surface, a surface of social inscription, marking, and training. The fourth and final part explores the implications of acknowledging the sexual specificity of the body for notions of knowledge and representation.
