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
2 X 3000 words essays
