Blog Prompt #8

Bodies, Differences, and Representations
People who inhabit ‘dissimilar’ bodies are read as both inferior and threatening (LeBesco 54).

You have two options for this blog post. Choose ONE:
  1. What is a common theme about bodies and differences that holds together Kathleen LeBesco, Celestine Bohlen, Margaret Hunter, and/or Catherine Lutz and Jane Collins? How do these authors illustrate that an intersectional approach to gender matters when analyzing the body and representation; or, how do they illustrate that the values attached to particular bodies change over time and place?
  2. If you find that LeBesco, Bohlen, Hunter, and/or Lutz & Collins actually inform, nuance, and support your final project ideas, detail why/how the specific essays are significant to your project and how you will use the essays as support. This is a fabulous chance to get a small piece of writing done for your final project.
Due: Monday, June 21 @ 6:00PM. 500 Words. 2 in-text citations as support.
Happy Writing!
