Sites of medical practice will dominate interrogations of embodied forms of commodification. Key foci include exploitative labor practices; the marketing of the human body and its parts; and the mechanization of human bodies in contexts ranging from quotidian experiences, to cybernetic contexts, to futuristic visions involving cyborgs and other hybrid human forms. Limited to 20 students.
