In contemporary media, carnality has many names; each of them shimmers with different shades. In the most neutral sense, “carnality” indicates something related to the body, flesh, physicality. What is “carnal,” however, still remains especially related to the sexual appetites and desires. Yet it also carries broader associations: with materiality, vitality, tangibility, as well as something temporary and vulnerable.
During the course we will inspect how bodily practices are portrayed in the media. We will analyze media representations of the carnal activities: sleeping, eating, defecating, having sexual intercourse. We will inspect how representations of carnality on screen can be approached using various philosophical and cultural theories. The course will also address digital embodiments in media spaces to provide examples of protocols of non-traditional perceptions of carnality.Aims:Upon successful completion of this course, students will:
- Have developed skills in film and other media texts analysis and interpretation, in particular, regarding the depictions of the carnal practices and experiences.
- Have developed their ability to discuss films and other media texts in a written and oral form (oral presentations, discussions, one-pager).
- Get familiarized with the selected theories of affect, embodiment and posthumanism, and the representations of bodily experiences in selected media texts.
- Have experience in critical analysis of films and other media texts using selected theoretical approaches.Methods:The course is taught through lectures, screenings, discussions, and set readings. Classes will consist of introductory lecture, a group work and a discussion part on films and other media texts. Individual sequences, scenes and film images will be analyzed. Set readings will be discussed. For each session, students are expected to come prepared, meaning, to read the required readings and to watch films or other audiovisual materials specified by the teacher, and participate in class discussions about the texts they read and the audiovisual materials they watched. The aim is to build students’ critical thinking skills and to show them how to analyze and interpret the representations of carnal practices depicted in media.
