Bodies in Society
3.0
creditsAverage Course Rating
We’re taught to understand our bodies as natural. Everyone has one. They are universal objects, consistent across humanity. But, people around the world have differing conceptions of what bodies are, what they can do, and where they begin and end. Moreover, people’s experiences of their bodies are highly variant. Even at Peabody, for example, what lips do are very different if you are a dancer, a singer, a horn player, or a flautist. The class is designed to give students new ways of approaching their crafts by introducing them to multiple perspectives on how bodies do things in the world.
