RLST 080 PO - The Holy Fool: The Comic, the Ugly and Divine Madness
CrsNo RLST080 PO
When Offered: Offered alternate years; last offered fall 2012.
Instructor(s): D. Smith
Themes surrounding the ridiculous, the repulsive and the revolutionary will be considered in the light of conceptual hallmarks of divine madness. As socio-political strategies that signal and figure forms of decay and death, both comedy and ugliness are the skilled means we will examine through which the holy fool constantly reintroduces us to the contingencies and discrepancies of the world.
