Bodies: A Digital Companion

Public Space

How do our embodied experiences change depending on where we are and the social norms governing particular spaces?  How do historical legacies and accompanying power dynamics that attach themselves to certain marked bodies determine not just how we view and experience ourselves, but also how others come to view and understand who we are in the world?  This section of Bodies will engage with these questions alongside of how discourses of race, class, gender, sexuality, nationality, ability, among other embodied positioning, come to affect our worldview and our views of others.  We will read Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates in addition to engaging with contemporary pop culture representations, spoken word, and current events.
