This blog is created by students from Clemson University's spring 2009 course Women's Studies 459 - "Building Bodies: Women's Bodies in Theory and Practice." This class explores the construction of bodies from various methodological perspectives, focusing on five specific areas: theories of bodies; bodies and genders and sexes; “misbehaving” bodies; politics of bodies; and constructing bodies. We welcome comments and contributions to our posts and discussions.

Adrian Piper

I'm in a colloquium (e.g. "reading group") on Bodies, and this week we're doing some work with Adrian Piper. I don't know much about her at this point (printing the reading now...) -- I'll be able to say more by class -- but part of our work was to watch a video she made. Quite relevant to our discussion for this coming week:
