Figuring the Body: An Interdisciplinary Graduate Student Conference
University of Southern California, Los Angeles
March 24-25, 2000
This conference is interested in the negotiations of contradictory and
competiting discourses and technologies of the body, and the ways in which
these shape and are shaped by diverse fields of knowledge--be they in the
humanities, social sciences, or the hard sciences. We seek to place
different historical, disciplinary and philosophical understandings and
conceptions of the body in creative conversation and conflict.
KEYNOTE SPEAKER:

periods.
