Description:

This course will explore embodiment as structure, movement, self, and situation. There is no part of our experience of ourselves or of the social world separate from our shared condition of embodiment. Bodies are learned and taught, given and shaped, recorded and screened, sensed and contested, practiced and remade in ongoing negotiations and developments that collectively make up “the social.” Our explorations will include visual and written texts, physical movement and sensory exploration in class and out. We will approach our shared investigations as a collective project: what kind of collective body will we make inside the container marked “critical studies class”? What can we learn from this project about our capacities and limits, and about the social as a flexible field for creative practice that is nonetheless stubbornly set in its ways?
