Comparative (and connected) exploration of philosophies of the body. 在西方, 我们继承了身体作为客体的模型, opposite to the mind - reinforced by a variety of everyday discourses including medical and health discourses as well as those around beauty, 能力, 和责任. While this course will historicize continental European theories of mind-body duality, we will dive into specific other philosophical traditions – embodied as well as textual – which offer very different models for the thinking-feeling-subjective body, 有自己的复杂性和关键的可能性. We will address bodies (in motion), perception/cognition, and power (variously defined). Ultimately, these various approaches force us to question what it means to even talk about “a body”.

无论是在幕后工作还是在舞台上, theatrical production is the space where imagination meets technical expertise, 和创造力 blends seamlessly with practical execution. Staging 欧律狄刻 is for students drawn to theatrical production backstage and those who want to perform onstage in a fully produced play. 在七幢开会, the class will be a laboratory for the Theatre and Dance Department’s Mainstage production of 欧律狄刻 which will have six public performances in 块 Eight. 根据俄耳甫斯堕入地狱的希腊神话改编, MacArthur Award-winning playwright Sarah Ruhl reimagines this classic narrative through the eyes of his lost bride, 欧律狄刻. 在她的婚礼上死去, the young heroine takes her own journey through a visually striking and poetic Underworld, where she is reunited with her father and struggles to remember her lover. “充满了悲哀和惊奇,” the play walks “a tightrope between the mythic and the mundane” (Lahr 2007) as it offers a contemporary re-telling of an ageless story of love and loss. 而课程在第七街区会合, students must also commit to either being a member of the cast or crew during the production in 块 Eight. 学生将获得额外的 .他们参加了这次演出，得到了25分. 请留意3号和6号街区的演员试镜.
