Vulnerability:Interdis Perspec

Catalog description

This interdiscplinary course will explore the problematic of vulnerability from a range of perspectives. To aid in our approach to vulnerability, one of our guiding questions will be to access to what extent human vulnerability is intrinsic (a consequnce of human embodiment) and to what extent it is extrinsic (vulnerability produced through social and geopolotical processes). Through discipline related discourses, we will also consider what's at stake in treating vulnerability as a source of pleasure as well as of pain.
