Aims:
This module will introduce students to the recent developments in the
history of the body, medicine and violence following Michel Foucault’s
work. It is intended that students will approach the history of the self
and of the body as it can be perceived from the study of the history of
medicine, disciplinary institutions and asylums in the nineteenth century.
The important texts on which this course is based combine the qualities
of Michel Foucault’s philosophic work with the minutia of empirical historians.
Objectives
Through this course the students will develop the appropriate skills
of analysis for the study of source material and gain an historical perspective
over an important period in European culture. The focus of the course
is mostly French and British.
The students will be encouraged to make use of the sources available
and to develop a methodical approach to the broader historical challenges
of cultural history.
Syllabus : The course is organised around 14 workshops. Each of
these workshops can take 2 tutorials or more to study. We have 23
weeks to work our way through this material. The course material
is organised around a set of primary and secondary sources that are essential
reading and a set of additional reading which can form the basis of independent
work and dissertation research.
Assessment due on the Thursday of week 12 of Semester 1 and the Thursday
of week 11 of Semester 2
