From embodiment, inscription, affect, and efficacy, the body has had multiple lives within anthropological thought. This seminar will consider how the body has been explored in anthropological texts and social theory. We will consider the relationships between body and language; embodiment, care, and ethics; and try to delineate together an unconventional genealogy of the body in anthropological accounts.

History of Science and Technology; Humanities Center; Jewish Studies; The course will examine Freud's writings from a two-fold perspective: On the one hand, we will analyze the contributions of psychoanalysis to modern thought. Lining himself up with Copernicus and Darwin, Freud considers his concept of the "unconscious" a further insult to mankind's narcissism and revolution of thought. In this respect, psychoanalysis affects a vast array of concepts of modern thought such as subject, language, sexuality, morality, culture, history, religion and art which we will discuss alongside with key terms of psychoanalysis (unconscious, repetition, transference etc.). On the other hand, the course will address the specific relation between psychoanalysis and literature. Throughout Freud's writings, literature enjoys vivid interest. Not only are psychoanalytic concepts (e.g. Oedipus complex, narcissism, the uncanny) crucially informed by literary texts, but also Freud's Interpretation of Dreams proves to be a theory of representation and reading. We will investigate the ways in which literature and psychoanalysis are involved with each other considering narrative forms, performative aspects and aspects of the genre (novel, novella). Readings and discussions in English.
