Browse Hierarchy GMH6068: Maternal Bodies: Metaphor and Materiality

Back to AR-SLLF-SLLF: School of Languages Linguistics and Film
This module will explore ideas and representations of motherhood and maternal bodies from across the globe in a range of texts, both written and visual, including creation myths, drama, short stories, essays, paintings and film. The aim is to explore the often complex and contradictory understandings and uses to which images of maternity are put, from the ancient world up to the present day. Both womb and tomb, purity and fertility, the personal and the political, we will consider how the maternal body is shaped across time and space.
