CNX 193 - Performing Bodies


Description
Performances take place on stages, in media, and in everyday life. Yet what constitutes a performance and how do performing bodies reflect the culture and society through which they move? Various 20th- and 21st-century examples will help us examine the role of class, gender, race, sexuality, and cultural norms in art works, texts, and events. Journaling, reflections on social media, and short video or photo projects will invite exploration of how our own bodies are subjected to cultural and societal norms in our lives on campus, at home, and online. Throughout, we will practice thinking critically, asking thoughtful questions, reading closely, writing in various genres, presenting and discussing ideas, and selecting sources.
