Embodied
Constanze Fuhrmann Fraunhofer, Mark Paterson
In this series of 4 online seminars, we will explore the implications of ‘embodiment’: whereby ‘body’ is meant as a territory with no fixed boundaries, as a body amidst other bodies, in the space of the possible between bodies. As politics control and shape bodies, theories, language and practice speculate to liberate those very same bodies: what does it imply to review and unlearn, rewrite histories and reclaim space, in that continuous movement between inside and outside, between our own body and the body of others? How do we inhabit our body? How do we enact politics? What do we do with theory?
