CUL308: Changing Bodies, Changing Selves |
In contemporary western cultures the transformation of bodies occurs in a wide variety of ways, some of which are socially sanctioned and others of which are pathologised. Moreover, the transformation on individual bodies is inextricably bound up with the (trans) formation of bodies of knowledge, institutional bodies and social bodies. The aim of the course is to critically examine the ways in which various forms of bodily transformation are understood in comtemporary culture and to explore the social, political and ethical effects of such understandings.
