Investigates bodies as both the object and subject of writing. Examines filmic, literary and theoretical texts, addressing issues such as the racialisation, gendering and intercorporeality of bodies and the relationship between bodies and technology. The literary texts may include fiction, life writing and experimental genres. The theoretical texts will be drawn from a range of writers which may include Gil, Grosz, Butler, Merleau-Ponty, Frankenberg, Foucault, Lingis, Weiss, Fanon, Benston and Ahmed. Includes a range of creative writing exercises and workshops designed to facilitate students not only thinking about bodies but through and with them.
