Description:	What distinguishes human from nonhuman, natural from augmented, and life from death? How do mutations in these relations, owing to environmental, political, economic, and biomedical transformations, foster emergent worlds and alter ontological categories? This course explores the constraints and possibilities of culture on the boundaries of nature and the corporeal. (Distribution Reqs:Social Sciences)
Learning Goals:	Students will be able to (1) speak and write articulately about interspecies engagement, emergent selves, and posthumanism; (2) recognise the changing landscape of being human owing to transformations in the relationship between science, medicine, government, and other arenas of power; and, (3) integrate culturally inflected categories of being and subjectivity into their speaking and writings. *The learning goals displayed here are those for one section of this course as offered in a recent semester, and are provided for the purpose of information only. The exact learning goals for each course section in a specific semester will be stated on the syllabus distributed at the start of the semester, and may differ in wording and emphasis from those shown here.
