INT-DISC 483P      Artful Man Embodied: Cultural Icons Of Masculinity
This course will examine a variety of mediums used to ""embody"" meanings of masculinity (with special attention paid to shifting settings for one media source can alter its meaning drastically simple by being located in a different venue and/or time). This course will incorporate tours of, and works from, the Nelson-Atkins and Kemper Museums. Images by/of ""men"" to be examined include those found in the work of selected ""masculine icon"" authors; those found in popular culture; and those found in the everyday (seemingly mundane) worlds of family, work, and medicine. As the title of the course implies, students will explore historical ideas about bodies/embodiment (be they scientific, religious, social, etc.) into their image exploration. Restrictions: Enrollment in Meanings of Masculinity recommended to take the course.
