A Course No. No subject in the history of representation has received more conflicted treatment or reception than the human body. Artists have interrogated it as the site of gender and sexuality, used it to express ideality and aberrance, celebrated it as the source of regeneration, and pushed beyond societal taboos in exploring it as the playground of decay and putrefaction. Beginning with the neoclassical heroic nude, we will study depictions of the body from the past two centuries that reflect the preoccupations and obsessions of their cultural moments in a particularly revealing way. Readings will be drawn from philosophy, cultural criticism, and art history.
