210: The Politics of Bodily Harm (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 10)

Can institutions hurt our bodies? On this week’s episode, Adri and Erin discuss the politics of bodily harm in chapter 10 “The Rogue Bludger” of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling. Poor Colin gets petrified (plus his camera gets fried), Harry’s arm gets deboned, and Adri stumbles through the chapter summary.

We also talk about how bodily harm is seen in current events: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/01/15/when-deportation-is-a-death-sentence
