680G: Gender, Rhetoric, and the Body
This
seminar will investigate theoretical and rhetorical approaches to the
gendered body. Readings will examine the
gendered body in relation to theories
of subjectivity, technology, class, race, history, culture, epistemology, methodology,
politics, representation, and writing. In particular, we will address the ways
that these theories have been articulated in rhetoric and composition. Assignments
will include reading notes, participation in class and electronic discussions,
and an extended research project.
