This course will explore the many ways in which art represents, shows, displays, suggests or otherwise makes bodies part of its concerns. How and in what ways do representations of bodies determine senses of identity or of space? How successful have moves away from the representation of bodies been? How are senses of corporeality conveyed in cultures which do not characteristically represent human bodies? Students may expect to develop a critical vocabulary for assessing how senses of the body are communicated.
