Class Objectives
/Class Outline ◆Course Objective
(1) To understand the basic terms of history of body and gender and to discuss medicalization and gender.
(2) To acquire basic academic skills such as literature research, handout writing, presentation, and discussion.

◆Course Outline
Is the human body as "natural" as it is in every region and time period? Many things that are considered self-evident about the body, such as the physical sex differences between men and women and the nature of sexuality, are not self-evident from a historical perspective. In this lecture, we will consider how the view of the body based on modern Western medicine, which has a great influence on us today, has been formed by reading documents and historical materials. The first four lectures will be given by the instructor, the fifth to fourteenth lectures will be literature reports and discussions by each student, and the final report will be presented in the fifteenth lecture. The class plan may be changed depending on the number of students and their interests.
