RELG 375 - Religion & the Body: Body Images & Practices across Religious Traditions (4)
Virtually all religions have something to say about the body; its holiness, its repulsiveness, its divinity, its profanity, its promise as a vehicle for salvation, or its peril as a vehicle of degradation. This seminar examines the distinctive, familiar, and unfamiliar ways in which religious traditions understand the body. Utilizing specific case-studies across religious traditions, this course explores the bodily phenomena of ritual, sacrifice, asceticism, dress (and nakedness), sexuality (and asexuality), and dietary practices, among others.
