| Through the prism of Russian literature and art, the course explores the various ways in which the human body is socially constructed and imbued with political and aesthetic significance. In particular, the course examines the body as the site of competing desires and interpretations, at the intersection of medical, scientific, and aesthetic discourses. To what extent do medicine, science, politics, and art influence, inform, or clash with each other in their approaches to physicality? The course will discuss such topics as labor efficiency and fatigue, production and reproduction, health and illness, biopolitics and bioethics, and finally, the concepts and experiences of ability, gender, class, and race. | ||||||||
