What does it mean that my flesh was born into the world? What would its re-birth entail? The turn to the body after Nietzsche not only foregrounds the finitude of the flesh, but clears the way for a new phenomenology of resurrection. This seminar for faculty and graduate students will study selections from Emmanuel Falque’s The Metamorphosis of Finitude: An Essay on Birth and Resurrection (2004) and The Wedding Feast of the Lamb: Eros, the Body, and the Eucharist (2011).
