Course description
 
Recently we are witnessed by artists who use their bodies as a medium to convey their aesthetic ideas. The seminar will try to explain why and how artists use the body for such a purpose, and whether it is a new (modern) phenomenon or its roots are imbedded in ancient times. In the course of our studies we will be exposed to numerous artists, in the realm of painting, sculpture, video art, dance, cinema and literature, as well as to popular culture with emphasis on advertising. The students will be required to take an active part in the course, read papers, and write short papers on the subjects exhibited in the classroom.
