ENG 133 U.S. LIT AND THE BODY POLITIC
U.S. American Literature and the Body Politic. In U.S. history, bodies have signified belonging or exclusion; at the same time, the new nation imagined itself politically as a metaphorical body. The course examines texts that foreground the intersection of gender, race, sexuality, and health/disease/disability to discover diverse ways in which bodies are politicized to make up the notion of American selfhood from the nineteenth century to present.
