Description:

The idea of the self is complicated by the fact that each person depends upon a web of others for bodily survival and emotional well being. The class explores the various relationships and intimacies that make up human life—including familial, ancestral, nonhuman, friendship, sexual, spiritual, institutional, ecological and clandestine intimacies. We will engage various conceptual tools—including psychoanalysis, queer theory, indigenous knowledges, and decolonial thought—to think and sense human entanglements. We will also look at the various forms of art and visual culture that emerge from being with one another.
