Course description
NOT 2010 The body frequently appears as a media object to be gazed upon & in many cases the anticipated gaze is gendered. This course focuses on representations of the body in texts such as horror films & magazine advertisements, & enables interpretation through intellectual frameworks including feminist & psychoanalytical theories. Topics include: the body perfect, the eroticised body (including the homo-erotic body), the abject body, & the tattooed & pierced body. NOTE: Course offering may be cancelled unless a minimum of 20 students enrol
