Embodiment, Systems, and the Imagination of Relational Possibilities

Catalog description

What if politics is not just 'out there' in institutions and laws but something we live, embody, and shape in every moment? This course invites you to rethink politics as a creative, relational force—a constantly shifting system of human ordering that is contingent, artificial, and open to reinvention. Combining embodied practices, speculative thought, and theory, this seminar explores how socio-political ideologies inscribe themselves in our bodies and behaviors. Through play, experimentation, and reflection, we will design and deconstruct systems, examine individual agency within larger frameworks, and imagine new relational possibilities. Accessible to all, the course welcomes participants willing to engage in embodied inquiry.
