In the Flesh: Race, Performance, Sex, and Skin (RCD-0162)

Spring 2027 · RCD 0162 · Tufts University · 3 credits · Undergraduate

Seminar on theatre and dance performance, sculpture, and new media about how skin obscures or reveals race, gender, and sexuality. Builds on the "theory in the flesh," based on the material lives of minoritized bodies, advocated by women of color feminism. Focus on performances where skin is a site of oppressive history and liberation, the limits and possibilities of embodied knowledge, and the co-constitutive social forces of race, gender, sex, sexuality, and nation. Artists studied may include Kara Walker, Narcisister, Regina José Galindo, Jeremy O’Harris, and Xandra Ibarra. Prerequisites: RCD 050, TPS 001, or TPS 002.
