"The Hunger Games" and Philosophy: Discipline and the Docile Body

Dr. Christina Van Dyke, of Calvin College, will provide an analysis of the popularity of body-modification in the Capitol that illuminates not just how it serves as an important source of self-expression for a people without a meaningful, internally-generated source of identity, but also how it functions as a locus of social control for the Capitol's regime...Seminar will be held in the Gezon Auditorium at Calvin College.
