| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2658 This course explores the visual and poetic life of sports, ancient and modern. It brings together cultural criticism, visual analysis, and historical study to theorize the beauty of athletics. Concepts of the body, gender, race and performance, and tropes such as "for the love of the game," "feel for the game" and "poetry in motion" will organize our work on the sensory and aesthetic dimensions of sports. No prior expertise in classics, art or sports necessary. ; Crosslisted: COML,VIST.; Enrollment Limit: 25.00 Humanities, A: Meaning, Interpretation (Texts), B: Analysis of the Social World (; Hav: HU, A, B) |
