Additional Course Info | Class Number: 1372 This is a topics course. Course content varies.; Current topic description: In addition to broadening student knowledge of classical texts and scholarship related to cognitive life and emotion in classical Rome, this seminar will introduce students to the fundamentals of embodied cognition and its role in sociological approaches to literature and history. We will explore how ancient authors like Cicero, Ovid, and Seneca (among others) discuss and use the body to create meaning, how bodily meaning emerges through ancient texts, the ways in which cultural and environmental contexts shape the meaning of bodily experiences, how language is used to represent the various forms of social knowledge extrapolated from those experiences, and what implications such representations might have for our understanding of ancient culture and its reception.
