Please
join us this Wednesday, October 2 at 1:00pm for an Athenaeum titled Super
Bodies and Secret Skins presented by Scott Daniel Boras, Communication
Studies.
This
presentation will examine the influential relationships between depictions of
popular culture superheroes and the substantive, malleable, and real
possibilities of human body transformation. Cultural discourses condition and
constrain the ways in which bodies/identity are formed and expressed. This
includes popular culture texts that, through their evocative narratives,
provide guidance or solutions for dealing with real world problems. The
presentation involves examining ways people project and perform fantastic
future versions of humanity, but also examines how such projections are borne
out of (and get expressed through) our everyday, less than super experiences.
Is it possible that we are becoming superheroes?
We
hope you will encourage your students and colleagues to attend this
Wednesday. The Athenaeum is located on
the south end of the Library's second floor.
