A few questions to consider:

1. What do we mean by rhetorics? What is the body? What are the body’s capabilities?
   
   
2. What does it mean to represent the body? When we discuss the body, whose body is represented?
   
   
3. What is a “raced” body? How does a body become gendered or sexed?
   
   
4. What does the “universal” or “ideal” body look like?
   
   
5. In what ways does the body become modified? How are these modifications represented?
   
   
6. How does age, weight, ability, height, physique, etc. shape our perceptions of the body? Who decides what a “normal” body is or should be?
