English and Comparative Literature
Undergraduate and Graduate Seminar
W 12:10-2PM
This seminar explores how dramatic enactment in various forms situates bodily boundaries and edges in and over time, as these are inflected by gender and sexuality as well as race and class. The seminar treats themes in the dramas of Euripides and especially Aristophanes, the canonical Greek writer of comedy, as shaping central themes and focuses; and it features modern reworkings of and more attenuated engagements with their dramas. The course will also center ground-breaking work on aesthetics, affect and the senses, materialities, and the post-human in order to highlight activist engagements with embodiment.
